This is the sixth, and final, issue of the progress reports for this project. It recognizes changes in the project amendment agreements: the first on January 1, 2009, which removed any reliance on the expected 50% joint project funding from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF), and where, as a result, it was agreed that the geographical scale of the project would be scaled back from regional to national with a focus on Ethiopia; the second on March 30, 2010 following required shifts in effort to IRI and University of Reading staff given the repeated failures to secure both UK and US visas for some Ethiopian trainees that lead to greater emphasis on training in region. While the primary geographical focus of activity has centered on Ethiopia the final months of the project have placed additional emphasis on travel in order to ensure project completion, maximum visibility and dissemination of project outcomes., to maximize regional awareness/impact where available
