Her Future Her Choice (Ethiopia) The project is developed to respond to the gender inequality and women's rights violations undermining access to comprehensive, rights -based sexual and reproductive health information and services for adolescent girls and young women (10 -24 years) in selected districts of Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.  It directly addresses the root causes hindering access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for adolescent girls and young women, which include gender inequality and discrimination; sexual and gender -based violence; harmful social norms, traditional practices and taboos regarding sexuality; and lack of decision making power by women regarding their health and sexuality. The project will seek to improve adolescent girls and young women's comprehensive SRHR in targeted districts, by applying a three -pronged approach: 1) Engaging adolescent girls and young women, men and boys, community -leaders and norm -setters through awareness raising and mobilization, including in schools (encouraging comprehensive sexuality education) to create a demand for comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services. Through this component the project will address issues of sexual and gender -based violence (GBV), including child early and forced marriage (ECFM) and female genital mutilation and cutting (FGMC), and empower women to be able to make reproductive health choices for themselves. (2) Strengthening the health system to deliver comprehensive SRH services including family planning, contraception, legal abortion and post -abortive care.  This will be achieved by training health service providers at the health facility level, and through improving health system management capacity and quality improvement practices. Particular emphasis will be placed on ensuring services are gender -responsive, youth -friendly, and free of stigma and judgement.  (3) Promoting change in SRHR policy and practice through building the capacity of local and Canadian Women's Righ

Empower Youth for Work (EYW)  in Ethiopia Over 1.2 billion of the world's population is aged 15 to 24 and this group is growing rapidly.  Yet young people are too often excluded from (decent and paid) work and decision -making.  Young people in the rural areas of Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Indonesia all face similar challenges.  In Ethiopia the majority of the youth population (20.7 million people ) lives in rural areas with limited access to essential services and under -employment remains a huge issue, especially for women. The lack of economic opportunities, worsened by the impact of climate change and weak governance, drives them into already overcrowded and stressed urban centers. This threatens the future viability of rural areas, and food security. Many of the problems that underpin this programme, are problems that entrench women in poverty. Social norms confine young women to lowly paid economic roles that do not provide opportunities to ‘escape' from poverty and that perpetuate harmful gender stereotypes. The unfair distribution of household care work undermines the economic and lifestyle choices women can make. A lack of sexual and reproductive rights further limits women's economic opportunities and their empowerment. Oxfam's innovative Empower Youth for Work program addresses these interlinked problems. The program has a holistic approach, consisting of three key building blocks: Agency, capacity & skills; Economic opportunities and Policy & norms.  Youth will be co -creators and co -implementer. Through our civil society partners and close linkages with the private sector and the government we will ensure:  improved skills training is adopted within local structures and new innovative social enterprises; unemployment is tackled through improved private sector practice;  increased market access and new enterprise development; an enabling social environment is created through grassroots and mass media action.  Climate change and resilience have been mainstreamed as well as gender and youth e
Drought Response Scale Up Program in Somali Region - Shinile Immediate food needs will be addressed through cash, cash for work, food vouchers and subsidized grain interventions.  Oxfam will also support poor households to prevent the loss of 15,000 livestock due to drought: This will involve animal treatment vouchers and water trucking to protect core breeding stock and human beings.
Integrated Emergency Response and Early Recovery Support in Somali Region, Ethio Various assessments of the drought -affected areas have cited water, food security and livelihoods based interventions as the most urgent need for those who are affected by the drought. The program proposes to restore existing livelihood opportunities (support to small businesses) in addition to create temporary employment opportunities; support in reduction of further productive asset losses (support to animal treatment and vaccination) to enable faster recovery and avoidance of negative coping mechanisms. In addition, access to safe water will be increased through temporary and limited delivery of water in case of need as well as through the rehabilitation and expansion of permanent water sources such as boreholes. Support will be provided to health facilities to access long -lasting sanitation solutions and to provide emergency support to the communities in the shape of Rapid Response teams with the objective to contribute to the reduction of health hazards and risk of disease outbreaks. Finally, as the drought further exacerbated existing vulnerabilities, Oxfam will integrate in this program activities from its protection programming in the Internally Displaced Person (IDP) sites to provide the targeted IDPs with the opportunity to articulate their needs and be heard by both Government and humanitarian actors, to contribute to the development of community's consciousness and awareness that they are part of solutions.  The Project will be articulated around 4 integrated sectors, to ensure complete support is provided to the targeted populations.  The proposed intervention focuses on supporting the drought affected communities residing in six districts namely Aware, Bil'ilbur, Daror, Dhagahbur, Gashamo and Gunagado  in Jarar zone of the Somali Region. Total number of targeted people is 230,151 people (13,112 IDPs). The project will have 12 months' lifetime starting from 1st June 2018.  Oxfam has been implementing a number of integrated emergency response projects in

Joint Response Ethiopia- (Fafan Zone) To save lives and protect and restore livelihoods of vulnerable pastoralist and agro -pastoralist communities in Fafen Zone, Ethiopia and contribute to improved resilience of communities to shocks and hazards
Emergency Lifesaving WASH intervention for the recently conflict displaced IDPs Due to three consecutive failed rainy seasons, an acute drought continues to affect the Somali region, exposing pastoral communities to critical forage, lack of access to basic food, loss of reduction of livelihood assets and livelihood opportunities, affordable market products and safe water, causing immense malnutrition, and severe livestock emaciation and mortality rates. According to the 2018 Humanitarian Response Document released early March 2018, 7.8 million people are food insecure in Ethiopia and 8.49 million in need of non -food assistance. Out of these, 1.79 million food insecure people (or 23%) and 2.59 million people (or 30.5%) in need of non -food support are in Somali region, which clearly illustrates the impact of the drought in the Somali region. In addition, a huge number of people are internally displaced in the region due to the drought, looking for support and establishing themselves in sites to receive the support they need to subsist. The Somali region is currently hosting 818,250 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in 331 sites. These people are likely to remain displaced as the humanitarian needs are expected to remain significant, particularly in parts of the south -eastern lowland areas of the Somali region. In addition to drought, tensions between Somali and Oromo communities and conflict along the border has displaced around 1.070 million IDPs, who are currently residing in 439 IDPs sites in Ethiopia (11th round Displacement Tracking Matrix: DTM). While some of these displacements date back to 2012, the vast majority occurred in 2017.  The conflict IDPs are hosted in 601 sites in Oromia and Somali regions. Those displaced from across regions are mainly hosted in transit or collective centres, while those displaced within a region are settled along border areas (Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), June 2018). More people have been displaced by conflict along the Somali -Oromia regional boundary since Displacement Track
MELA for Her Re-useable Sanitary Pad Production in Ethiopia MELA For Her (MFH) is a social enterprise that aims to transform women and girls' lives across Ethiopia by providing them with access to affordable and eco -friendly menstrual products, and menstrual health education. MELA (??) in Amharic means SOLUTION. MFH's philosophy is based on the women to women model where women are the majority in the production, marketing and sales of its products as well as its main customers. The company is a socially and environmentally responsible business, bringing positive impact for local communities, particularly for women and girls.   The company generates its revenues from two main sources: production and sale of reusable sanitary pads/dignity kits (75 -80%) and provision of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM)/Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) services (20 -25%).  The production of MFH's reusable sanitary pads is based on a hybrid production model that was awarded by The Good Business in March 2021. Under this model, the company produces sanitary pads in its own production unit (internal production), but when demand increases, it outsources part of the production to small and medium factories through contractual agreement (external production).   MFH produces two types of reusable sanitary pads (MELA Basic and MELA Premium). Its products have been tested by Ethiopian women and girls with excellent feedback and are available in the market. A prototype for a third product (MELA Eco), a product made from recycled and quality factory leftover fabrics, is ready for mass production. MFH also supplies basic and tailor -made dignity kits that include reusable sanitary pads, underwear, and soap, among other items, for humanitarian organizations. In addition, MFH provides MHM/MHH services such as training and research for Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and private companies.   During 2021, MFH reusable sanitary pads were sold exclusively by order. Customers were mainly NGOs working in emergency response and development programmes. In 202
Enhancing Economic Empowerment of Women Beekeeping Scale-Up Project (BEE-SCALE) There are, however, challenges associated with the limited capacity of smallholder beekeepers in production, marketing, entrepreneurship and business development; and loose linkages between the beekeepers and the private sector, which needs further intervention and support. This proposed project aims to strengthen and supplement the existing honey value chain programme, ensure sustainability of the effort and scale up the learning to other areas such as to Tigray region.
