SUMMARY:
ActionAid works in over 40 countries including Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, Nigeria, Sierre Leone and
Tanzania. In Ethiopia it works on a range of issues including: education, food security and
emergencies, primary healthcare and HIV/AIDS and women's development.
ActionAid Ethiopia embeds women’s development into its work on education, HIV/AIDs and Primary
Health Care, and food security and emergency responses. In the project Combating Violence Against
Women and Harmful Traditional Practices (HTPs) it has been working to empower women and girls
to abandon or resist harmful traditional practices by getting organized and playing a proactive role.
Organized women groups educate and sensitise community members in addition to helping
survivors of violence seek redress for their grievances. The project involves:

Recognising the role traditional and religious leaders play in shaping the behaviour and
attitudes of people in communities, and engaging with them extensively.

Schools and formal institutions such as police, court, health institutions and others have
been targeted with capacity building support and awareness raising.

Economic empowerment of women has been promoted by organising women into self-help
groups and providing them with technical and financial support to engage in income
generating activities. This initiative is mainly addressed under ActionAid’s food security
theme. The women development theme focuses on generation and dissemination of
knowledge and information as well as the replication of best practices.

Women’s development initiatives are carried out in partnership with government and NGOs
working at local, regional and national levels. Partners include Women in Self Employment
(WISE), Network of Ethiopian Women Associations (NEWA) and Bright Image for Generation
Ethiopia (BIGA).

ActionAid Ethiopia’s Education programme includes work to:
o develop locally appropriate learning and teaching materials which often have a
specific focus like reproductive health; gender sensitivity; non-violence and
citizenship
o provide inputs to improve the qualification of teachers through in service and preservice teacher training programs
o enhance girls support programmes such as girls clubs, tutorial programmes for girls
o use child-to-child education methodologies and set up children’s rights clubs to
promote participation

CARE Ethiopia’s three year project BIRHANEi (Building Improved Reproductive Health of Adolescent
Girls through Networking and Economic Empowerment) aims to enhance the economic and Sexual
Reproductive Health status of 8,000 girls aged 10 - 19 in South Gondar Zone by tackling issues such
as early forced marriages and female genital cutting. The phases of the project are:
1.
Year 1 (Exploration and Adaptation): Working with girls and partners, the project explores
the current context: existing practices; dynamics; support systems. Informed with this
understanding, CARE will work with stakeholders to design new and/or adapt existing
economic models and SRH services to be girl-friendly.
2.
Year 2 (Scale-up): Focus is on scale-up by expanding coverage, assessing progress and
documenting and sharing lessons to ensure replication of successful results.
3.
Year 3 (Consolidating Lessons and Advocating for Institutional Change): Implementation of
activities will continue while lessons are consolidated and sustainability is strengthened by
institutionalizing activities within the work of government, local NGOs and community-based
organizations (CBOs).
CARE Ethiopia is also working towards achieving universal primary education in Ethiopia by 2015. A
project called SCOPEii (Strengthening Communities through Partnerships for Education) has been set
up to develop, deliver, and evaluate a comprehensive programme to build the capacity of schools,
communities and local government to partner in identifying and effectively addressing barriers to
improved access, quality and equity in primary education. Working with school personnel,
community members, local government leaders, and NGO representatives, SCOPE pays special
attention to children in disadvantaged circumstances, such as pastoralists in remote, difficult to
reach areas; and girls, who still face numerous socio-cultural and economic obstacles in gaining
access to schooling.

SUMMARY:
Population Media Center (PMC) is a US based NGO which works worldwide using entertainmenteducation for social change. PMC’s programmes encourage positive behavior change among
audiences, and include addressing population and reproductive health issues. Countries they work in
include Ethiopia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
Broadcasting from June 2010 through December 2011 in Ethiopia, Mieraf (New Beginning in
Amharic) was a serial radio drama designed to promote the importance of health extension workers
and encourage people to use their services, while also raising awareness of health issues, including
Ethiopia, 29/03/2012
Page 9 of 13
maternal and child health, use of family planning, malaria prevention, HIV/AIDS prevention, and
hygiene and sanitation.
Produced by the PMC, the drama airs twice weekly and is followed by discussion and interactions
with health extension workers. Each broadcast is divided into two segments. The first segment is an
entertainment-education radio drama, while the second segment comprises discussion and
interactions with health extension workers.
According to the PMC, over 30,000 health extension workers in Ethiopia have been trained by the
government to help communities deal with basic health issues, such as providing family planning
services and assisting with births. However, many people do not utilise these services. The drama
was produced to change perceptions and build trust between communities and health extension
workers, and to increase awareness and acceptance of their responsibilities. The storyline and
characters provide role models and demonstrate the valuable role health workers can play in
improving overall health.
The storyline focuses on Hibist, a 21-year-old girl living with her family in a rural village in Ethiopia.
With very traditional parents, she struggles to find her place among her three brothers and to
overcome the challenges of being female in a male-dominated society. Despite the criticism she
endures from all sides, Hibist completes her 10-year education and joins the Health Extension
Worker Program, determined to find a way to improve the health of her family and community.
Throughout the course of the drama, Hibist is confronted with numerous challenges – her
relationship with her fiancé hangs in a delicate balance, she must survive the temptations of drugs
and alcohol, and deal with a malaria outbreak in her village.

Snippet on CBC; Makutano Junction
COUNTRIES: Kenya, Tanzania
ISSUE:
HIV/AIDS & TB
WEBSITE:
http://www.mediae.org/
SUMMARY:
Snippet on CBC is produced by Mediaeiv, a development-focused media organisation in Kenya, for
the Ministry of Health and Center for Disease Control and Prevention. This multi-media
communication campaign was designed to promote cross-testing for HIV and tuberculosis (TB) in
Kenya amongst those with TB and/or HIV and their families. The campaign, which was initiated in
2009, used television, radio, text messages (short message service, or SMS) and print.
Target audiences included health care workers, as well as HIV and TB patients, their families and the
broader public. For health care workers, the goal of the project was to counter stigma and promote
awareness of their own HIV status in order to encourage them to look after their own health and
improve their communication skills. For HIV and TB patients, families, and the general public, the
initiative was designed to improve awareness of the relationship between HIV and TB.
Mediae was commissioned to research, design, and deliver the campaign, and the following
materials were produced:
 A 4-episode storyline on Makutano Junction, Mediae's weekly television drama series. A
health worker faces up to her own positive HIV status, confronting stigma and
discrimination, and, in doing, so improves her and her colleagues' professional and
communication skills.
 A comic-style leaflet featuring key messages and contacts, available via a free SMS number
promoted on Makutano Junction.
 12 weeks of dedicated radio programmes on Metro FM (Nairobi-based, broadcasting in
English and KiSwahili) and Lake Victoria FM (Nyanza based, broadcasting in DhuLuo)
featuring drama, vox pops, call-in slots, and expert discussion.
 A DVD-led discussion tool for awareness-raising sessions for health care workers held within
health facilities in Nairobi and Nyanza provinces in Kenya. The DVD-led training aims to offer
an instant catalyst to deep discussion, reflection, and consensus on change in complex
training projects. The DVD uses clips from Makutano Junction and additional scenes scripted
specifically for training. These lead into documentary interviews with professional health
workers talking about their experiences of HIV stigma, discrimination, testing, and
disclosure. The final chapter focuses on improved communication and counselling skills.
 A handbook on stigma and discrimination, drawing on clips, quotes, and key reminders from
the DVD-led discussion.
Makutano Junctiovn is a weekly drama series set in a typical peri-urban East African
town. The drama follows the lives, loves, frustrations and successes of a small
African community living in a context and a manner familiar to tens of millions of
people on the continent. Makutano Junction has a regular audience in Kenya of
over 6.5 million viewers, together with viewers in other countries.
Mediae’s team of East African writers and film-makers craft the series as a carefully
Ethiopia, 29/03/2012
Page 11 of 13
balanced drama and popular development communications tool, so that viewers are attracted by
the gripping, high quality entertainment each week and doubly rewarded with relevant and practical
information
Through the carefully written script and a cast of familiar characters, Makutano Junction models
real-life dramas and dilemmas as well as their solutions. It highlights basic rights and injustices while
demonstrating remedies and best practices. The results are loyal weekly audiences of multiple
millions across Africa.
The Makutano Junction communications model is adapted from well-established two-step mass
communications social-change theories. An important part of this is Makutano’s unique interactive
mobile SMS/Text interface. Together with the website www.makutanojunction.org.uk this enables
thousands of viewers to obtain detailed follow-up information about key development issues tackled
each week and ask personal questions of experts. Research shows that Makutano’s interactive and
participatory elements significantly deepen the project’s impact.
