Youth sexual and reproductive health education and school safe corners for menstrual hygiene management

This policy brief presents findings and recommendations from the "I know I can, sexual reproductive health for informed decision" project implemented by the Development Expertise Centre (DEC) in Ethiopia over the past 3 years. The project aimed to enhance youth sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education and establish safe corners for menstrual hygiene management (MHM) in schools across four implementation areas in the Oromia region. The project successfully reached over 48,600 adolescents, significantly increasing awareness and utilization of youth-friendly SRH services, reducing absenteeism, and fostering community support.
