- vulnerable families and the lowest social welfare benefits;
- welfare services and marginalised groups (alcohol and drug addicts, homeless persons, troubled youth, problem families etc.);
- employment policy and people with mental health problems;
- strategies of active labour market policy;
- the health sector and the question of “free choice”.
Research projects based on quantitative methods or a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods will be preferred.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I obtained my BA Degree, minoring Geography and majoring English (Education) from Addis Ababa University, and have recently completed my Masters degree in SOCIOLOGY from Indra Gandhi National Open University (IGNPU).
I have over 6 years experience in coordinating community development programs on Child Right Protection, Gender, Education, Income Generation activities and have experience working with orphan children and destitute families enrolled in Community based NGOs such as Ethiopian Orthodox Church-Child and Family Affairs Organization and Christian Children’s Fund (CCF-Ethiopia). I have been exposed to and participated in most aspects of managing projects, including planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating undertakings. I worked collaboratively with Program staff, Community Facilitators, primary caregivers, school professionals, health care professionals, and other counselors to create service plans, increase family communication, and promote safety for children. My experience also includes working part-time as a Consultant for the Program activities that have targeted most Vulnerable Youths and Orphan Children living in very slum areas. I have been active at Higher Institution students’ development campaign run by Amhara Development Association (ADA) as a Coordinator, which requires me to establish rapport with poor village residents, and have equipped me with many skills and ways of dealing with the community members. Moreover, having initially proven my diligent membership in the Itang Teachers’ Association, I had later been elected and worked as a General Secretary of the Zonal Teachers’ Association.
Currently, I am working as a Training and Reinforcement Officer in Addis Ababa University MARCH Project which is funded by PEPFAR through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I am able to help coordinate Reinforcement Events and consult the Project Director on Budget preparation of different Training of Trainers. I have been also equally comfortable working independently or as part of a team and highly motivated to work with the University Partners and Reinforcement Agents.
It is my aspiration to combine my range of experiences with my ability to be a compassionate, enthusiastic, intelligent PhD student of Sociology in your esteemed university. Please give me some advice the ways I can get a hold of full PhD scholarship. I greatly appreciate your time and effort.
Sincerely,
Hailu Marew (Mr.)
