Description

The purpose of this program is to continue the provision of HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, & Support, and Treatment services that have been initiated under the PEPFAR-funded HHS/CDC and HHS/HRSA HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment programs in health facilities in Oromiya, Harai, and Somalia Regional States and the Dire Dawa City Administration of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and to facilitate transition through the provision of technical and capacity development support to Ethiopian organizations that will have responsibility for implementing HIV prevention, care and support, and treatment activities. This transition needs to occur while sustaining and continuing to scale up care and treatment services for people living with HIV (PLHIV) without life-threatening disruptions of services. Ethiopian organizations may include any of the following entities: federal or regional government; local universities; and nongovernmental organizations.The purpose of this program is to:1.

Provide quality comprehensive, sustainable prevention, care, and support services to Ethiopia.4. Create and build capacity of indigenous technical assistance prime partners to provide focused technical assistance to the government of Ethiopia for a broad range of comprehensive HIV related clinical services provided at different/varying levels of service delivery.5. Build capacity of local GOs, NGOs and community based organizations to successfully compete for funds, as prime partners from donor agencies including the USG for the purposes of implementing adherence support and community care program activities. 6. Partners receiving HHS/CDC funding must place a clear emphasis on developing local indigenous capacity to deliver HIV/AIDS related services to the Ethiopian population and must also coordinate with activities supported by Ethiopian, international or USG agencies to avoid duplication. 7.
