Inputs, Outputs, and Activities: FY 2002 Program: In FY 2002, USAID will fund activities for the care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS and vulnerable children. This includes the treatment of opportunistic infections, as well as HIV prevention activities among high-risk populations (truckers, migrant workers, sex workers, and out of school youth). USAID will support the social marketing of condoms to prevent HIV infection; the national polio eradication campaign; the routine expanded program on immunization; the strengthening of the detection and treatment of tuberculosis and malaria; public health awareness campaigns; training programs for health care professionals that concentrate on health and nutrition practices and the development of treatment protocol standards and guidelines; the development of training manuals; and the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation system.FY 2002 Family Planning/Reproductive Health Program: USAID will finance training, service provision, logistics, and management systems development for family planning and reproductive health. The program includes the distribution of all contraceptive methods of family planning to NGOs, as well as distribution of oral contraceptives and condoms through the social marketing program. USAID will fund activities that strengthen and expand health care services from the urban and peri-urban areas to more rural settings and increase the quality of health services in selected regions.
SUBMISSION OF THIS PROGRAM DATA SHEET CONSTITUTES FORMAL RENOTIFICATION OF USAID'S INTENT TO OBLIGATE FY 2002 RESOURCES FOR THE ACTIVITIES DESCRIBED ABOVE. Planned FY 2003 Program: USAID intends to use FY 2003 resources to expand the program to include more voluntary counseling and testing at HIV/AIDS sites and possibly offer tuberculosis screening for clients who test positive for HIV. In two of the three focus regions, USAID intends to award grants to explore innovative models in the continuum of care to HIV positive people, including their families and vulnerable children. USAID will continue to support Ethiopia's polio eradication efforts. USAID will also consider supporting the social marketing of insecticide-treated nets to reduce malaria infection in young children and women of childbearing age. USAID will continue plans to provide technical assistance in health care systems strengthening in selected areas.
Planned FY 2003 Family Planning/Reproductive Health Program: USAID expects to use FY 2003 funds to upgrade Ethiopia's contraceptive logistics management and information system to include other reproductive health commodities, fund additional community-based family planning and HIV prevention behavioral change initiatives, and expand sites that offer quality post-abortion care services in an effort to protect maternal lives.
All contracts and grants funded with resources from the Ethiopia Family Health Program will incorporate clauses that implement the President's directive reinstating the Mexico City Policy.
- Approximately 14 million children were vaccinated against polio.
- Over 786,847 couples were protected by modern family planning methods.
- Over 3,850 persons were trained in reproductive health activities.
- Approximately 100 sex workers were trained as peer educators in HIV prevention activities.
- Over 3.8 million adults and 1.4 million adolescents were reached with HIV and reproductive health messages.
Performance and Results: By the end of FY 2001, 786,847 couples were protected by modern contraceptive methods through USAID's integrated reproductive health/HIV and social marketing programs. According to the Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey of 2000, the national contraceptive prevalence rate was 8%. Rapid assessments of the USAID reproductive health focus areas show a contraceptive prevalence rate of approximately 38%, a significant increase over the national prevalence. Recently completed studies on contraceptive stock levels in country will allow USAID and other donors to better forecast contraceptive needs, allow government and NGOs to more appropriately target their family planning programming, and will allow for better contraceptive security.
The Policy Environment Score (a scale that measures changes in the policy environment for HIV/AIDS) was 67.4, an increase of 11 points over the last year and 30 points above the baseline of 37 in 1997. In FY 2001, approximately 14 million children were vaccinated against polio. A behavioral sentinel surveillance study is currently underway and will provide national data on the sexual practices of high-risk groups. Over 600 health workers were trained in integrated approaches to improve health care practices.
