IFA gGmbH is preparing to establish a Multipurpose Training Centre of Excellence in Ethiopia — a future initiative that will begin once funding is secured. The centre will be closely linked with our Getaway Skilled Talent programme, creating a clear pathway for Ethiopian youth and professionals to access training, language preparation, and international employment opportunities.
Tailored workforce training for Ethiopia’s labour market
German language preparation for job seekers
Vocational Education & Training (VET) with action‑oriented learning
Modern training facilities equipped with up‑to‑date tools
Employment pathways for opportunities in Ethiopia and Germany
Bridging skill gaps by connecting trained talent with employers
This planned initiative reflects IFA’s commitment to:
Sustainable workforce development
Ethical and transparent migration pathways
Strong Ethiopia–Germany collaboration
Empowering youth with real opportunities
IFA is dedicated to creating long‑term impact through skills development, integration, and international cooperation. We welcome partners, supporters, and collaborators who share our mission to build opportunity and strengthen communities.
Together, we can shape a brighter future.

On February 24, 2010, IFA welcomed Dr. Claas D. Knoop, the German Ambassador to Ethiopia, at the Dodola Community Development Center. The visit highlighted the importance of grassroots empowerment and long‑standing cooperation between Ethiopian communities and German development partners.
The Dodola Center — supported through dvv international’s Integrated Women Empowerment Project (IWEP) and the KNH Micro Project Fund — serves as a hub for local capacity building and community development.
During the visit, Ambassador Knoop met community members, observed ongoing activities, and held discussions with IFA’s Managing Director, Mr. Gemeda Nure Firo, underscoring the shared commitment to education, inclusion, and sustainable impact.
