IntroductionSince its establishment in March 1950, Addis Ababa University (AAU) has contributed a lot to thedevelopment of the intellectual and skilled human resource of the nation. In order to be more relevant tothe needs of the nation, over the last few years, the university has been undertaking a comprehensive reform

process striving towards excellence not only in teaching and research but also in community services. Inthis regard, the need for provision of short term training and consultancy services guided by unified policyand procedures has been emphasized. Since Addis Ababa University is a comprehensive Universityencompassing all fields studies and professions.

Organized under the office of Resource Mobilization and Generation wing of the Office of Vice Presidentfor Institutional Development, Training and Consultancy Center has been recognized as one of the core

bodies of the University.
