— AREAS OF IMPACT
Four Places Where the Work Compounds
Building the Human Foundation First
From St. Paul’s Hospital to Ethio Turkish Hospital to a growing network of 15 hospitals, CALS has helped build the human foundation of Ethiopian healthcare institutions — not as an add-on, but as a prerequisite for excellence.
Healthcare Leadership
Reform That Reaches the Ministerial Level
CALS has supported institutional reform inside five Ethiopian government ministries, helping leaders navigate complexity, build accountability, and serve the public more effectively.
Government & Public Sector
Credibility That Spans Local and Global
Trusted by the United Nations, the African Union, and global brands operating in Ethiopia, CALS has built a reputation that spans local context and global credibility.
International Standing
Investing Before the World Is Watching
Through the African Union’s youth program and partnerships like Qesbeqes with GIZ, CALS invests directly in the leaders Africa has not yet met — 2,000+ and counting.
