Training Centre in Debrezeit, Ethiopia
Strengthening youth-serving NGOs
There is still a great need for sexual and reproductive health education in Ethiopia. For this purpose, DSW opened a training centre in Debrezeit, approximately 45 km East of Addis Ababa in November 2004. DSW's Training Centre in Ethiopia was designed to contribute to the improvement of young people’s sexual and reproductive health.
Established with support from the clothing company BONITA Gefuehl fuer Mode GmbH&Co.KG in November 2004, the Training Centre aims at strengthening the training efforts and managerial capacity of youth-serving NGOs and youth clubs at grassroots level.
The centre offers specialised training for the design and implementation of high-quality sustainable projects and programmes in adolescent sexual and reproductive health in line with the health policy of the government. Alongside a broad range of tailor-made training courses, the Training Centres provide an ideal venue and excellent facilities for development organisations to conduct their own workshops, seminars and conferences. It supports the training efforts of youth serving NGOs and youth self-help initiatives at the grassroots level.
Although only recently established, the centre, has already been widely recognised as a valuable asset regarding sexual and reproductive health programming in Ethiopia. It has been appraised by the Ethiopian Ministry of Education and has also attracted a considerable number of youth-serving organisations who have also held their own workshops, seminars, meetings and conferences at the centre, such as UNICEF and Save the Children USA.
