APAP gave training to prosecutors and judges in the towns of Ambo and Debre-Birhan on child protection. The training was given at Ambo from December 25 to 28, 2008 to 25 judges. Of these, six were females. And it was given at Debre-Birhan from December 26 to 29 to 26 prosecutors-four of whom were females.

The training was part of the project that APAP has been implementing in partnership with the Oak Foundation-the project known as "Revitalizing the Role Legal Professionals Play in Child Protection." The project is aimed at raising the awareness of judges and prosecutors in these localities about child protection issues and at enhancing their role in ensuring the respect of children's rights during their day-to-day activities.
