Community-School Partnership Program (CSPP)

The goal of the Community-School Partnership Program (CSPP) is improve educational and health outcomes for children in primary schools in Ethiopia. The project integrates health, water, sanitation and hygiene services into the school settings, thus providing children, especially girls, with everything they need while also ensuring their proper primary education. CSPP accomplishes its goal through the following core strategies and inter-related supporting activities:

• Building capacity and improving key education inputs such as teacher skills and reading materials.
• Facilitating and improving effective links between education and health services.
• Promoting sustainable attention to health, nutrition, safe water supply and sanitation.

The three-year program targets 1,800 schools across eight regions of Ethiopia, benefiting 900,000 children.  World Learning works in two regions, Benishangul Gumuz and SNNPR. World Learning focuses on the following activities:

• Enhancing the capacity of schools to provide the basic health and education needs of its students, particularly of the girls and pastoralists. World Learning implements in-service Teacher Training as a means to improve the quality and equity of education. The trainings focus on capacity building, and contain components on “training of trainers” to foster mentoring and group learning at clusters and schools.
• Strengthening the community network in order to better provide basic health and education services. The project provides training to Parent Teacher Associations and communities members on health and education issues, community mobilization, action planning and advocacy.
• Providing key health services through schools.
