Job Description
PROJECT CONTEXT:
Under the Private Public Partnership (PPP) Project “Training Institute for Commercial Vehicle Drivers in Ethiopia”, UNIDO, VOLVO, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), Selam Vocational Training Centre (VTC) and Federal Transport Authority are jointly engaged, where the overall objective is to transform the commercial vehicle drivers training in Ethiopia through a fully functional model training academy with an international standard and an inclusive curriculum focusing on highly needed skills and attitude, using state-of- the-art driving training equipment and training tools based on international best practices.
The project is currently working to facilitate and support the establishment of a national driving school association. The association is comprised of driving schools including entrepreneurs that work across Ethiopia. The driving school association is expected to bring together driving school owners, educators and other safety professionals that effectively run commercial driver training and various government transport officials that strive towards driver training and road safety efforts. The association will be developed with the aim of enhancing quality of driver training in Ethiopia, promoting business as well as creating good working relationships and synergy with the Federal Transport Authority, Regional Transport Authorities including the Addis Ababa Transport bureau and the Addis Ababa City Administration Vehicles and Drivers Quality Control Assurance Authority.
The association will ultimately contribute to the creation of a strong driver training industry association by working together for:
- Higher standard driver training
- Reduction in loss of life and property from road traffic fatalities
- Appropriate, consistent, and reasonable state regulations and policies that enable commercial driving schools to provide a high level of education and operate profitable businesses
- Growth opportunities and competitive advantages for businesses in driver training
- Work with all community groups, agencies and legislators to bring about new regulations that make Ethiopian roads and citizens safer.
Main Functions
- Under the administrative supervision of the National Project Coordinator and overall guidance of the UNIDO Project Manager (PM), in close collaboration with International Expert/s, the Project Coordinator will perform the following tasks:
- Assess the current status of private driving schools and identify advantages of having a vibrant driving school association, and potential barriers / challenges to its realization
