Ethiopia's Health Extension Program Is Making News

As I have mentioned previously, I am working on longitudinal survey data collected with respect to the implementation of the Health Extension Program (HEP) in Ethiopia (click here for details form a previous post).  Lately, there has been some increased attention paid to the program as the preliminary results of an independent survey, the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey 2011, have been shared this past month.  Key achievements in areas of family planning and child health were highlighted.  See here for the press release from the Embassy of the United States in Addis Ababa.

Also last month, preceding the above press release, the HEP was highlighted in the Embassy of the United States in Addis Ababa's Newsletter.  It's a nice article with a broad overview of the program and also highlights some personal and practical aspects of its implementation.  See here for the article.
