Impact Bond: Menstrual health and hygiene Impact Bond - Ethiopia
Stage of development: Implementation
Policy sector: Health
Social challenge: In Ethiopia, three out of four girls will never have heard about their period before being confronted with it. The project seeks to raise awareness in the political sphere, civil society and the population about menstrual health and hygiene and, more broadly, about the situation of women.
Intervention: On the ground, the service providers will ensure that good practices are promoted to a wide audience. The providers will offer reusable sanitary napkins. In the schools, they will make sure that the sanitary infrastructures are adapted to the needs of young girls. Also, awareness campaigns will be carried out in universities, schools, clinics, factories in the city's industrial park as well as in the most vulnerable communities on its outskirts.
