Obama to Improve Ethiopian Education Ministry Office Conditions

The Ethiopian Ministry of Education headquarters is getting an upgrade, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers via the Obama Administration. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) today issued a presolicitation notice (#SOL-663-11-000007) alerting interested contractors about the refurbishment project, which seeks to improve office conditions for the Ministry's Planning and Resource Mobilization Directorate staff at Arat Killo.

Specifically, the initiative seeks to:

create an open floor space plan for teams; increase the number of workstations; and new office spaces such as a meeting room, a kitchen, and an archive by office partitioning; supply modern office furniture and sanitary fixtures; refurbish the toilet facilities; and establish new data-tele connectivity.

USAID did not provide an estimated cost. A more detailed proposal will be issued at a later, unspecified date.
