Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In Ethiopia, about 2,000 local stewards, technicians, drivers and other personnel are receiving training from China Railway Group, specifically China Railway Erju Group Construction Co., Ltd. or China Railway Second Bureau (中铁二局集团建筑有限公司). Apart from school-style classes and trips to China, they are following a team of 1,000 Chinese railway workers, who have been commissioned to run the railway. It is unclear when the trainings started, although MOFCOM reported a 2018 Seminar on Railway Operation Management in Ethiopia that was held from July 9th to August 7th 2018.
