The Addis Ababa Food and Drug Authority Food and Health Control Directorate provided training based on regulatory legal frameworks for regulatory professionals.

The Food and Health Control Directorate provided extensive training to branch office directors and team leaders on the authority, responsibility and accountability of regulatory professionals, which helps protect public health and carry out regulatory activities in accordance with the principles of law, professionalism and accountability.

The training was based on five main legal frameworks, namely the Federal Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act, the Corruption Offences Proclamation, the Federal Civil Service Proclamation, and Proclamation No. 1112/2011 and Proclamation No. 1362/2017 E.C. The authority and duties of health inspectors are based on the guidelines.

The training was conducted in a manner that clearly shows the authority, responsibility and accountability of inspectors according to these legal frameworks.

The training was given by the Director of Service Delivery Monitoring, Support and Evaluation of the institution, Ato Mebratu Ta'me, and he presented in detail the legal provisions and their implementation that require inspection work to be carried out in accordance with the law and that any decision should not be outside the law and be carried out in accordance with the law.

The training explained in detail the legal foundations and frameworks under which regulatory professionals must perform their duties in accordance with the Code of Conduct and are legally accountable for the decisions they make.

The main objective of the training was to strengthen the capacity of regulatory professionals to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in regulatory work, as well as to sustainably protect public health.

In his closing remarks, the Deputy Director of the Regulatory Sector of the Authority, Ato Enga Ereketa, strongly advised that since gaps in professional ethics are being observed as an authority, the professionals should turn the professional and law enforcement training provided into practice and work responsibly.
