What is it?
An overview to the Smart Start program in Ethiopia at the time of its launch. This overview includes our strategies at that time for:
- Creating a Smart Start experience for girls
- Mobilization and recruitment
- Counseling
- Service provision and follow-up
- Working at Kebele and Woreda levels
- Smart Start sessions
- Data tracking
- Financial planning
- Tips and tools
- Best practices
- Key messaging
How did we use it?
To provide an overview of Smart Start during our initial trainings for Health Extension Workers in Ethiopia.
Consider using it to:
Flip through the key components of the original Smart Start design at pilot, and see how we introduced the project to key in-country partners. Consider how you might use a tool like this to orient partners to your own adapted version of this intervention.
(Note: the Smart Start intervention has evolved since its first launch, so while this is a useful resource to get a sense of the intervention, if you are interested in full replication please email us at [email protected])
