Addis Ababa SustGOV, a joint project of University of Oslo and Addis Ababa University (AAU), has a plan to establish a center of excellence that enhances knowledge to address policy coherence and synergy among various government policies, AAU project coordinator Aklilu disclosed.

The joint project organized today a roundtable discussion under the theme Policy Coherence for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals in Ethiopia with members of the House of People’s Representatives who represented the various standing committees.

Speaking on the occasion, Addis Ababa University project coordinator Aklilu Amsalu said the universities have a plan to establish a center of excellence that enhances knowledge of the legislative body to identify lack of policy coherence and synergy among various government policies.

Policy coherence and synergy between various government institutions is vital to achieve sustainable development goals, he stressed.
