On May 12, 2026, the Gazanche Primary School project was officially launched in Gazanche, Gurage Zone, Central Ethiopia, following a €4.2 million agreement between the Italian government and the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS). This initiative aims to construct primary schools in underserved regions, directly benefiting over 4,000 students and their families. The project emphasizes the importance of quality education, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 4. The ceremony featured the formal handover of the site to the local contractor, marking the transition from planning to implementation. Key figures, including H.E. Ambassador Sem Fabrizi and Ms. Worknesh Mekonnen of UNOPS, highlighted the project's role in fostering socio-economic development and addressing educational disparities. The new school will incorporate climate-resilient infrastructure, including modern classrooms, libraries, and WASH facilities, to ensure the health and well-being of students. This collaborative effort reflects a strong commitment to improving education access in Ethiopia's historically underserved communities.
