Peer education is a popular and versatile approach for promoting good sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among young people around the world. Well-designed and well-implemented programs can improve young people’s health-related knowledge, attitudes, and skills as well as their access to health services. Peer education is based on the idea that young people are more likely to change their behavior if peers they like and trust advocate for change . A successful peer educator motivates people to adapt and maintain positive behaviors that promote health and prevent diseases through reinforcing behavior change. This brief describes the experience of the USAID-funded Integrated Family Health Program (IFHP) in engaging peer educators in the planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation of adolescent and youth SRH programs in Ethiopia.
