Population, Health and Environment Ethiopia Consortium with its partners is implementing an EU-CSF III funded project entitled, “Service
Delivery Improvement and Citizens’ Engagement for Development and Democratization (SDICE4DaD)”. This intervention aims to improve the effectiveness of service delivery mechanisms and to empower citizens to claim their basic rights.

Under the project, after class tutorial support was provided for female students in Fentale, Meiso, Amibara and Awash Fentale woredas of Oromia and Afar regions, in collaboration with the districts’ education offices and the schools. The tutorials were given for three months in English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology.

Girls who receive an education are less likely to marry at early age and are more likely to lead healthy, productive lives. Thus, investing in girls’ education and educating females can transform local communities, and ultimately reduce gender inequality and enhance the economy of the country.
