About
EngenderHealth would like a student team to conduct a desk review of existing policies and regulations on family planning and abortion care in Ethiopia. Through communications with Ethiopian colleagues, the team will :
- Review the status of implementation of these policies and regulations at Woreda (district) and Kebele (village) health care facilities
- Identify gaps and obstacles to policy implementation at the service delivery level
- Based on international standards, develop recommendations for policies and guidelines to strengthen family planning and safe abortion care.
Ethiopian project staff will provide Ethiopian documents for review and will be available via email and telephone to provide any additional input. A final report indexing and outlining all critical documents, summarizing findings and key recommendations will be due at the end of the internship.
