ANE Regional Activities
>> Regional Overview >> ANE Regional Activities Overview ACTIVITY DATA SHEET
PROGRAM: Asia and the Near East Regional
TITLE AND NUMBER: Asia and the Near East Regional HIV/AIDS, 498-008
STATUS: Ended
PLANNED FY 2001 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: None.
PROPOSED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: None.
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1997 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2000Summary: The Asia and Near East Regional HIV/AIDS program piloted and promoted best practices in preventing HIV transmission and providing care to AIDS victims and their families. The program supported bilateral programs, as well as efforts to tackle the growing dimensions of the disease that are transboundary in nature.
Key Results: This activity was completed in FY 2000 and was replaced by the new, expanded objective ANE Regional HIV/AIDS and Infectious Disease Program (498-029). The final year of obligation was FY 1999; those FY 1999 funds were reported as expended in FY 2000. This activity is included in the FY 2002 Congressional Budget Justification to provide the final U.S. Financing Table showing no unliquidated obligations.
Performance and Prospects: The program has financed activities at major border crossing points in USAID bilateral and non-presence countries. Specific areas of investment include: information, communication and education to promote behavioral change; social marketing and condom promotion; training in diagnosis and appropriate management of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for pharmacists and doctors; and the production of simple, culturally appropriate multiple language pamphlets, booklets and other educational material for distribution at cross-border sites and for use by NGOs providing services to migrant populations. Program funds also were used for epidemic trend monitoring through STI and behavioral surveillance data collection in Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. These data were used by USAID field missions, other donors and local governments to develop programs and policies to more directly and effectively respond to the epidemic.
In addition, regional funds were used to finance research on the following: interventions in Nepal to prevent the trafficking of women and girls and the care and support of returning trafficked persons, ways to improve the hospital environment of HIV positive persons in India, and ways of building community identity among debt-bonded prostitutes in Cambodia. Regional funds were provided to a number of cooperating agencies to carry out HIV/AIDS program activities throughout the Asia and Near East region. Funds provided through the International HIV/AIDS Alliance supported the development and sustainability of local nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, either by providing specific HIV/AIDS related services or by incorporating HIV/AIDS prevention or services into their overall mandate.
In addition regional funds were used for technical assistance on STI treatment protocols; epidemiological data collection, analysis and dissemination; formative research assessing the efficacy of prepackaged STI treatment; pilot tuberculosis/HIV projects on the extent of injecting drug use in India, Nepal and Vietnam; and an assessment of capacity-building and training needs throughout the region on topics such as HIV/AIDS, voluntary testing and counseling, and condom promotion. Program funds also funded activities related to the trafficking of women and girls in the South Asia region.
Possible Adjustments to Plans: This activity has been completed. Regional HIV/AIDS activities now are reported under the objective "Stabilize Population Growth and Protect Human Health" (498-022).
Other Donor Programs: USAID is one of the leading donors in the area of HIV/AIDS in the ANE region. Other key donors include: the United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS); the United Kingdom; the European Union; the United Nations Development Program; Japan; Australia; the Ford Foundation; Germany; the World Health Organization; and the World Bank.
Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: Family Health International; The Population Council; the International HIV/AIDS Alliance; Denk Kestet Tena; Population Services International; Programs for Appropriate Technology (PATH); and CARE International.
