Results & Indicators


Expected Results


The project is expected to support the health and wellbeing of individuals by increasing equitable participation in decision making, increasing the adoption of healthy, gender-responsive, household practices, and decreasing barriers for girls and boys, including those with disabilities, to fully participate in school. Vulnerable households in the kebeles will be supported through behaviour change campaigns, education, training, and awareness to have the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and abilities to adopt and maintain healthy, gender-sensitive, water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices and decisions in their homes. This project increases women’s ability to improve their health and wellbeing and that of their families and communities which will increase women’s confidence, agency, value, and status in the community.
