RATIONALE FOR ACTIVITY
The PHE Ethiopia Consortium PHE Ethiopia was established in May 2008 in response to commitments made at the 2007 PHE Conference held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. This
network is currently registered as an NGO and receives funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation hereafter referred to as the Packard Foundation and other international
donors to support its 38 member organizations. In her document, Reflections on Population, Health, and Environment Projects in Ethiopia: the Packard Foundation’s First Three Years
Investing in PHE in Ethiopia here forth referred to as Reflections Paper, Annie Wallace, the 2009 USAID PHE Fellow in Ethiopia, noted that “PHE Ethiopia staff capacity should be
built to offer technical assistance to its members” and that “this organization should begin to take the lead in providing technical assistance to its members.”
Since Year 2, the BALANCED Project has provided technical support to build the capacity of PHE Ethiopia to mobilize and train its members. PHE Ethiopia staff have participated in
all of BALANCED key workshops—PHE Community-based Distribution CBD and PHE Adult Peer Education Train-the-Trainer TOT; How to Develop Integrated Information,
Education, and Communication IEC Materials; and Youth Peer Education YPE TOT. BALANCED staff has also provided PHE Ethiopia with hands-on technical support. They
also participated in a working group facilitated by the BALANCED Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning ME L Specialist on selecting indicators to monitor and evaluate PHE
activities. PHE Ethiopia is now well placed to take the lead in organizing on its own PHE workshops and training for its members.

ACTIVITY SUMMARY
Although the 2008 PHE Program Design workshop was held with NGOs interested in PHE projects in November 2008, Ms. Wallace noted in her Reflections Paper that the Packard
Foundation-funded organizations received the training before their projects began. This gap between the time of the training and the time when participants could apply what they
learned in their projects has contributed to the need for a refresher course on this topic. As noted by Negash Teklu, Executive Director of the PHE Ethiopia Consortium, and confirmed
by the BALANCED EAC, a PHE Program Design refresher training is needed not only by this group that attended the 2008 workshop, but as well by other organizations currently
implementing PHE activities in Ethiopia. Building on the expressed desire for a refresher course on PHE Program Design or other
PHE topic as identified by the new PHE Fellow recently stationed in Ethiopia and the need to strengthen the capacity of PHE Ethiopia Consortium to provide technical assistance to its
members, BALANCED will provide partial funding up to 4,000 and technical support to PHE Ethiopia to conduct this refresher, or other training, course. BALANCED will
encourage PHE Ethiopia to raise other funds for the course, organize it, engage local BALANCED traineesPHE practitioners as workshop facilitators, and conduct the course for
the Consortiums member organizations—with priority going to participants from NGOs currently receiving Packard funding to implement PHE activities. While PHE Ethiopia and
its facilitators will take the lead in the course, the USAID PHE Fellow will also assist. The course will use the PHE Program Design Participant Manual, which was translated into
Amharic during BALANCED Year 2. Specific activities will include:
• Provide PHE Ethiopia with financial and technical support to conduct a refresher
training on Designing and Implementing Integrated Approaches to PHE: Workshop for Planners and Managers or workshop on other PHE topic for PHE Ethiopia
members. Topic of workshop will depend on PHE Fellow’s assessment of capacity building needs.
