undertaking different activities to strength the HIV prevention, care and treatment efforts of
the college and health facilities contained by the college.
1.2. Justification
Protection and Security Services Directorate of the college was organized to create a peaceful
learning environment and a general safe education environment to achieve the missions of
learning, teaching; research and social services. To implement structural organization by
receiving and accepting the mission of giving assured and secured protection and security
which are derived from institutional strategic plan.
The directorate is striving to meet new manpower needs through training, increasing the
ability of security personnel to carry out their missions, and by reducing the number of
unqualified personnel in cooperation with the Directorate of Human Resources Management;
and improving; equipping offices with material facilities, making preparations for crime
prevention, and making the work environment comfortable.
In order to deliver customer oriented and convenient service, expanding responsibility and
accountability, work process and customer oriented service and providing services free from
corruption and discrimination; which are part and parcel of the broad domain of its basic
governing principles the directorate is embarked in finding remedies for acts that are against
the basic principles through curative approach using disciplinary and legal measures as an
instrument.
Despite the initiatives to improve the problem of ethics as well as disciplinary bases of the
employees through curative approach, achievements observed so far were not as anticipated.
In addition, the problems of ethics and corruption in the government offices increased highly
from time to time in the recent years. Hence; to alleviate this difficulty, it is very essential to
give different trainings to strengthen and improve the commitment of employees in fighting
of ethical problems observed, so that they can be able to know their responsibilities to do
what is expected from them.
After realizing the existing discipline gap this training project is proposed to stress that,
beside the curative measures taken by the directorate on those who violate the basic
principles, there is an urgent need to pave the way for launching preventive ways by
2
organizing planned, timely and value adding training on the basis of Moral, Ethics, Work
Ethics, Conflict of Interest and Customer Handling Strategies to protection and security
services employees of Harar Health Sciences and Medical College.
