The Ethiopian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ESOG) conducted a workshop on resource mobilization at its project bureau on September 15, 2018. About nine people: ESOG Executive Board members, ESOG/ACOG Collaborative Project thematic area committee members, project staff and administrative and finance personnel attended the workshop.

The resource mobilization training resource person is Ms. Elizabeth O'Connell, who is Director of Development for Undeserved and International Women's Health Programs at American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The focus of the training was basically on business development, fundraising, resource mobilization, partnership development and strategic partnerships. The reason to organize such a training for ESOG is to maintain operations, expand program opportunities, become more responsive to members and to influence national healthcare for women.

In a continued effort to develop a document of code of ethics for its members, the Ethiopian Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ESOG) has conducted a meeting in Bahir Dar on September 24-25, 2018. The meeting aimed at gathering opinions from members on a prepared draft code of ethics. On the meeting were Professor Peter Schwartz, and expert from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), Dr. Abubeker, ESOG member and 40 other Ob-Gyns and Residents.

Developing code of ethics for ESOG’s members is one of the objectives of the Ethics Thematic Area under ESOG-ACOG-CIRHT Collaborative Project.
