Your submission at Articles for creation


I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Phantom Aid in Afghanistan. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's an example of how to add references: Chzz is 98 years old.&lt;ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. &lt;/ref>

He likes tea.&lt;ref> Smith, John. " Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at.

ActionAid Ethiopia
ActionAid Ethiopia (AAI-E) has been working extensively in the country since 1989, implementing numerous poverty-targeted projects in the form of development phases that involved micro-level welfare and service delivery plans, and exclusive focus to the poorest households. Aside from the development phases, AAI-E has initiated long-term and integrated development programmes for periods of 10 to 13 years in, benefitting 26 districts across Ethiopia. Over the years, its initiatives have impacted Ethiopians from 28 districts in seven regions.

Initiatives for Women’s Development
According to 2012 statistic estimates, women account for 50.8% of Ethiopia total population of 93.8 million. The progress of women’s development in the country has improved over the past decade with newly revised laws, and the declining trend of negative norms and traditional practices. However, such improvements do not indicate that women’s rights in Ethiopia have reached acceptable world standards; much assistance is still required in the education of women, and prevention of violence and harmful traditional practices (HTPs) on women. Believing that all women have a right to a dignified and fulfilling life, AAI-E aims to improve the condition and position of women in Ethiopia.

In order to realize their mission, AAI-E has enforced a twin-track approach. The first is a standalone plan that addresses issues directing affecting women such as HTPs, and the second entails a mainstreamed approach where women’s development goals are embedded in other thematic initiatives in education, HIV/Aids and Primary Health Care, food security and emergency responses. In addition, AAI-E, in collaboration with NGO Medhin Tiwlid, conducted an extensive study on the lifestyles of 65 Ethiopian women over the span of 3 years to gain more local knowledge on real problems faced by these women. The research identified a total of 142 HTPs inflicted on women and girls across various nationalities in Ethiopia that has led to health problems, and put forth solutions for reproductive health problems.

For AAI-E’s standalone approach, females are educated and empowered to abandon or fight against traditional practices. They are encouraged to form organized groups to educate and sensitize the community on the violence and cruel treatment on women, and give support to victims of unjustified abuse. Furthermore, the initiation of Watch Groups has led to many firsthand preventions and interventions, showing that the NGO is determined to aid Ethiopia in women’s development at both macro and micro level. For instance, due to a tip from Watch Groups members, ActionAid Gena Bossa Development Area and partners from the Southern Regional State were able to rescue 22 girls from an arranged female genital mutilation. In addition, with help from the mediation of ActionAid’s anti-VAW Women Watch Group, a woman succeeded in preventing her husband’s involvement in polygamy and gained a marriage status recognized by law.

With the mainstreamed approach, AAI-E engaged respected traditional and religious leaders to help redefine the behavior and mindsets of nationalities on the issues and rights of women. In like manner, schools and formal institutions like the police, court and health institutions are targeted to enforce improvements on building women’s capacity and bring public awareness on current women’s issue. For example, health posts are built and furnished with essential medical equipment with pre- and post-natal healthcare services accessible to mothers. Also, these health posts are charged with the responsibility to sensitize community members on HTPs, family planning, sex transmitted diseases and so on. Lastly, AAI-E has been a strong supporter of the Network of Ethiopian Women in conducting training for women parliamentary candidates, leading to a more than twofold increase in women’s representation.
