Ethiopia – Overview of Country Activities:

The Institute for Reproductive Health is working with Pathfinder International to test the introduction of the Standard Days Method (SDM) into an existing community-based family planning service delivery system. In August 2004, the Institute conducted a training of trainers for health care professionals from 14 of Pathfinder’s network partners. Since then, Pathfinder translated SDM materials, including job aids and training materials into Amharic.

Country Updates

Pathfinder has trained 88 community-based reproductive health agents (CBRHAs) in Dendi, Dembi Dolo, Meket, and Sodo, all rural areas, and provided them with CycleBeads for distribution to clients, teaching, and demonstration. While data is not complete, and most sites have been operational for only six months, Pathfinder reports over 200 SDM users.
