The Institute on Wednesday presented its nine-month performance report to the Science, Communications and Technology Affairs Standing Committee with the House of People’s Representatives (HPR).
Presenting the report, NMI director General, Wondwosen Fiseha said measurement and industry are directly interrelated.
Hence, he said, NMI is undertaking various activities that would make it go with the burgeoning industry sector of the country.
Accordingly, the Institute is offering capacity building trainings and technical assistances to governmental and nongovernmental actors in the sector, he said.
Modules have already been prepared to incorporate measurement in the national curriculum and provide it at first-degree level.
