In Ethiopia, there is a lack of both civil society and government support in the areas of HIV/AIDS and FP/RH. The POLICY Project's strategy addresses this need by using a mix of policy and data analysis to develop consensus and action around HIV/AIDS and FP issues. POLICY's strategy is focused on strengthening the policy making and analytical capacity of local staff, institutions, and civil society at the national and regional levels. POLICY will also work toward an improved policy environment by carrying out assessments of policies, laws, and regulations that may present barriers to HIV/AIDS and FP service provision.

:: Recent Successes The Ethiopian White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (WRA) was officially launched in November 2003. The WRA promotes increased public awareness of the need to make pregnancy and childbirth safer for all women. Ministers of State for Information and for Women's Affairs and the head of the Family Health Department/Ministry of Health publicly declared their support for establishing the WRA, representing the strongest support by public officials to meet the Millennium Development Goal of reducing the maternal mortality rate in Ethiopia from 871 to 200 by the year 2015. POLICY is an active member of the WRA and contributed to its establishment in Ethiopia.
