A professional association of adult, lifelong learning and community development professionals on February 24/2022. The founding members used the opportunity of coming together for a training and workshop on family literacy in Bahir Dar for the formation of a professional association, as there is no such a big gathering of experts of the Adult Education field in the country. Although the discussion started informally in 2019, further steps were not undertaken to realize the desired association.

The UNESCO Chair Programme at Bahir Dar University has also organized and provided another round of training on the concepts of family literacy and learning, and community learning centres (CLCs) as part of the Family Literacy International Project from 23-24 February/2022 to all National Regional States and City Administrations in the country as well as for all the 12 universities in Ethiopia that have Adult Education Degree Programme. Besides, postgraduate (MA AECD) students of Bahir Dar University took part in this training.
