A Rights-Based Approach for Enhancing SRHR & Responding to GBV in Ethiopia

Ethiopia
| 2023-2028
Funded by Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), this project will be implemented across 157 districts in Ethiopia’s two regions (Amhara and Somali) and one city administration (Addis Ababa).

The project expands on its pilot phase successes to empower women and young people to participate equally in society and realize their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) rights—including the rights to decide if, when, and how many children to have; access accurate SRH information and high-quality services; and live free from violence and coercion.

Using a multi-sectoral approach, the project will strengthen existing systems to deliver gender- and youth-responsive sexual and reproductive health services including contraception, safe abortion, and GBV care and support across all implementation regions in selected schools, health facilities (including one-stop centers), and community level.

The project is implemented in partnership with Ethiopian Women Lawyers’ Association (EWLA) and a youth-led organization (TBD).
