Abstract: Abstract In the garment cluster in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, a large number of self-employed tailors and a small number of ready-made garment (RMG) factories coexist, as we described in our previous study (Sonobe and Otsuka, 2011, Chapter 9). The enterprise data that we collected for the previous study in 2007 were used as baseline data for the present study of management training. In 2008, the Addis Ababa office of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) agreed with our idea to provide a short-term training program for the owners or managers of garment enterprises in Addis Ababa for research purposes. We convinced JICA of the advantage of using our baseline sample and the importance of randomizing the assignment of the sample enterprises to a treatment group and a control group.
