Phase 1 of the programme will be in Amhara and Oromia, gradually expanding nationally. 2. To implement Phase 1 of the programme working with the Government of Ethiopia and set in place a sustainability plan for the implementation of the scale up (Phase 2 onwards), which is expected to be wholly led and managed by the Government. The programme is based on proven best practices, existing clubs/safe space mapping research in Ethiopia, and extensive stakeholder consultations at different levels, including with adolescent girls in the target regions.
