The British Council is the UK's leading international organisation for educational opportunities and cultural relations. Our office in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was established in 1943 and has ever since engaged with generations of young people through a diverse range of educational and cultural programmes. We work with our partners, both Ethiopian and from the UK, to showcase excellence, innovation and creativity. We work for the benefit of the individual and for the mutual benefit of the UK and Ethiopia.

For more information about our services and programmes, please browse through the list below or contact us via the links to the left.

Examination / Administration Services

Last year, the British Council worldwide helped 2 million people sit professional and academic exams from the UK. In Ethiopia, we administer a wide range of exams including IELTS, CIE, CIPS and more. Find out more here.

English

			Global English: We supports teachers and learners of English as well as policy makers in the area of language education via events, research, online courses, seminars and digital resources.
			PEP: The Ethiopian Peacekeeping English Project (PEP) aims to raise the language levels of Ethiopian defence force personnel so that they can effectively participate in United Nations and African Union Peace Support Missions.

Education

			Connecting Classrooms: our school partnership programme that promotes intercultural dialogue through three-way partnerships between schools in Sub-Saharan Africa and the UK. The project aims to share new ways of teaching and learning methodologies so that stereotypes and assumptions about each other are challenged, diversity is valued and creativity is fostered.
			Premier Skills: a football partnership programme defined by the Premier League in collaboration with the British Council that aims at developing coaching, teaching and English Language skills among local community coaches.
			Professional development: we offer a range of professional development opportunities through resources, training, international examinations and networking opportunities for organizations and individuals seeking to improve their managerial, leadership and personal skills in order to achieve better work results.
			Study in the UK: we can help you find out more about studying in the UK and applying for scholarships.
			DelPHE: The Delphe programme was a successful project which was implemented in several countries in the region. It ended in March 2013 and DfiD gave a very good rating. As the programme is now closed, there has been a selection of projects to represent each of the Millennium Development Goals. The selected case studies are from Uganda, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sudan. The cases show how much can be achieved with a comparatively small amount of funding, partners that are well-matched and lots of enthusiasm and support from staff and students at the institutions who took part in DelPHE to make their projects work. Please view the DelPHE case studies document.
