This study was made to assess the pelformance of Clergy Training Program of EthiopianrnOrthodox Tewahido Church. The training needs assessment, the selection of both trainers andrntrainees, the reinforcement mechanism,facility of the training centers, and contents of the trainingrnwere assessed in four purposely selected training centers. The four centers were form the Amehararnregion, Tigray region, Oromia region and South Nations and Nationalities regions. Questionnaire,rnInterview and Observation were the main tools to gather information. The data analysis was madernusing relevant statistical tool such as frequency and percentage. The study revealed that therntraining centers were not well equipped and organized accordingly. They had no uniformity inrnaccess of facilities, accommodation and admission of trainees. The program was not done basedrnon training need assessment. And there was no any research activity in the centers so that theyrnwere not able to solve at least some of the problems they face. More over the program was heldrnonce every year. Though, the centers admit clergy trainees from relatively closer diocese, theirrngeographical dispersion, limited physical quality, and scarcity of inputs obliged them to limit thernnumber of trainees they can admit. In general, the study revealed that the training centers of thernchurch were not efficient to produce effective, problem solving and qualified clergies or churchrnservants. In line with the findings and conclusions drown, it is recommended that the church inrncollaboration with the laity, external sister churches, donors and the federal government ofrnEthiopia should upgrade the physical facility of the training program. The church on its part isrnrecommended to do vast and deep training need assessment prior to launching the training, tornexpand the contents of the training based on the assessment and to have governing rule andrncriteria of admitting both the trainees and trainers. Research and other contemporary socioeconomicrnissues should be incorporated in the courses of the training. Finally, the EOTC-D1CACrnis recommended to give special concern to the Clergy Training Programs.
