Organization Back ground

Since 2002, Amref Health Africa in Ethiopia has partnered with the Government of Ethiopia and local communities to implement diverse health and development project portfolios throughout the country. Our staff of more than 200 are based in our head office, five regional offices, and eight sub-regional offices, reinforcing our proximity to the communities we serve and our strong coordination capacity within and between the regions. With our communities at the center of our work, we focus on two strategic pillars – human resources for health and innovative health services and solutions, undertaking four key programmatic areas: Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, Child, Adolescent and Youth Health; Water, Sanitation, Hygiene; Human Resources for Health, and Disease Prevention and Control.

These programmatic themes strategically engage cross-cutting issues including gender and social inclusion, policy and advocacy, research, and innovations and technologies. Additionally, our organization also engages in clinical outreach interventions and emergency programs, including nutrition and resilience building of affected communities through projects that aim to improve livelihoods of communities and reduce their vulnerability to shocks, such as droughts and other natural disasters without compromising long-term development.

Background to the Assignment

Amref is currently implementing a 5 years USAID Funded integrated youth activity, Kefeta in 18 cities, along with consortium members including international partners, national CSOs and private sector resource partners. Integrating democracy and governance, basic education, higher education and health, Kefeta takes a holistic approach to support economic and social opportunities for youth in Ethiopia. The Amref-led consortium’s vision of success for Kefeta is Ethiopian youths who are game changers: empowered to advance their own economic, civic, and social development; resilient in the face of shocks; actively promoting development within their communities and contributing to the country’s peace and prosperity. Kefeta will benefit the lives of at least two million Ethiopian youths in 18 cities, building their agency and capacity for advocacy, linking them to economic opportunities, and improving their access to youth friendly services (YFS). This will be done by building the capacity of local youth-serving organizations and youth coalitions, and establishing a sustainable, youth-led Youth Empowerment Fund (YEF).
