Message from PMC - Ethiopia

PMC-Ethiopia began working in Ethiopia in 2001. The annual population growth rate is 2.85 percent, which left unchanged would result in a doubling of the population in 25 years.
Ethiopia has made great strides in a number of development areas in the more than a decade PMC-Ethiopia has been working there. According to the 2011 Demographic and Health Survey,
the contraceptive prevalence rate in Ethiopia has doubled in the past five years. A variety of PMC programs have worked to help increase knowledge about family planning, contraception, HIV/AIDS, and a number of other issues, such as improving the use of the health extension worker program. PMC-Ethiopia has also won a number of recognition, including the 2011 Global Media Award. The PMC-Ethiopia team is committed to making a difference.
