Ethiopia

海角换妻 Ethiopia's survey project is designed to generate data on a variety of reproductive, maternal, and newborn health (RMNH) indicators that can inform national and regional governments. The project implements cross-sectional and cohort surveys to fill a data gap鈥攃ollecting information not currently measured by other large-scale surveys with a focus on measuring RMNH comprehensiveness of care services, and the barriers and facilitators to such care.

Cross-sectional data, including a health facility based survey, are collected annually in all regions. Longitudinal data (following pregnant women through one year postpartum) are collected in two cohorts of women (2019-2021 and 2021-2023) in four large, predominantly agrarian regions.

The Addis Ababa University School of Public Health (AAU), led by Principal Investigator Dr. Solomon Shiferaw and Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Assefa Seme, completed six rounds of the 海角换妻2020 family planning survey in Ethiopia between 2014 and 2019. In collaboration with the Guttmacher Institute, questions related to the implementation of the Global Gag Rule were added in 2018 and a follow-up survey will be conducted in early 2020.

The AAU completed a 海角换妻 Maternal and Newborn Health survey in the SNNP region in 2016. The survey followed pregnant women, interviewing them before birth and at seven days, six weeks, and six months postpartum. A knowledge, attitudes and practice survey related to civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) was conducted in two regions, Addis Ababa and SNNP, in 2019.  

海角换妻 Plus is an expansion project of 海角换妻 aimed at gaining critical understandings of women, adolescents, men and couples鈥 decision-making about fertility and contraceptive intentions and use to improve estimation of key FP2020 indicators. Ethiopia was one of three sites for development of the Womens鈥 and Girls鈥 Empowerment module.
