3.1. Qualitative Information on NSA Sectoral Contributions<br />

Education<br />

o Participation of NSA: Dire Dawa Trust Fund, FSCE, ProPride;<br />

o Activities undertaken: The Education- related activities range from Urban and Rural<br />

schools construction to <strong>the</strong> delivery of Education (mainly at basic level). In this field <strong>the</strong><br />

testing and implementation of new approaches to NFE and ABE are to be considered).<br />

Several CBOs and NGOs provide additional education service to <strong>the</strong> most disadvantaged<br />

services (community-based services, clinics, and centres, advocacy and raising awareness<br />

on SRH, STDs and family planning, risk reduction activities such as condoms<br />

distribution and provision of safe abortion services). FGA is followed by OSSA. Yet it<br />

A number of grassroots youth organisations and also <strong>the</strong> regional chapter of Ethiopian<br />

Youth Association are active and are gradually structuring <strong>the</strong>ir activity and relationship<br />

with Government Bodies in charge for HIV-Aids issues. The approach is mainly based on<br />

prevention and risk reduction and also in awareness raising using different methodologies<br />
