The purpose of this training is to build the capacities of Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) Focal Points in Ethiopia who are members of the Ethiopia PSEA Network. The Ethiopia PSEA Network is made up of PSEA Focal Points from different United Nations (UN) organisations, NGOs and government ministries/agencies.

This two-day training for PSEA Focal Points is designed to introduce and familiarize participants with their roles and responsibilities as PSEA Focal Points and members of the Ethiopia PSEA Network, as well as to ensure their familiarity with and understanding of key concepts, core principles and practical steps and practices for PSEA (see Table 1). An additional one-day training is provided to equip PSEA Focal Points to deliver a half-day PSEA Briefing to their colleagues in their respective organizations/agencies.

In the first day of training, the first half-day was designed to serve as a stand-alone PSEA Briefing session that can be used by PSEA Focal Points to train staff in their respective organizations/agencies about the Ethiopia PSEA Network, as well as other actors who are involved in the delivery of assistance to affected populations in Ethiopia, such as inter-agency clusters and working groups. PSEA Focal Points are expected to have the capacities to deliver the half-day PSEA Briefing.
