"The inception of the research project came from the realization of the tremendous potential of the Sabido Method Entertainment Education Dramas. The Sabido method dramas have been tried out and proven to have a remarkable success in many countries in promoting pro social issues. The thesis thus took the two Sabido Method Entertainment-Education Serial Radio Dramas, the Amharic Yeken Kignit and the Afan Oromo Dhimbiba dramas as practical examples and examined the contribution of the dramas to the HIV/AIDS prevention endeavors in the Ethiopian context."
