USAID PROGRAM: Laos
PROGRAM TITLE: HIV/AIDS (Pillar: Global Health)
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: Strengthen the Laos National Response to HIV/AIDS, 439-005
STATUS: New
PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $1,000,000 CSH
PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGTION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $1,000,000 DA
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 2002 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2006Summary: The goal of USAID assistance to Laos is to strengthen the national response to HIV/AIDS by—
- improving HIV and behavioral surveillance to include mobile populations and others at high risk;
- expand condom social marketing, education and behavior change activities to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS ; and
- implementing education and prevention programs in target areas.
Inputs, Outputs, and Activities: FY 2002 Program: The U.S. Government will invest $1.0 million in FY 2002 in CSH funds to address the spread of HIV/AIDS in Laos. These funds will be used to continue to improve HIV surveillance and expand prevention activities to additional at-risk populations by strengthening training, education, policy, and advocacy. In FY 2002, an assessment of the HIV/AIDS situation in Laos will be conducted and opportunities for USAID investment will be explored.
Planned FY 2003 Program: Information from the FY 2002 assessment will be used to develop an HIV program framework for Laos (expected completion date mid-FY 2002) that will guide FY 2003 funding.
Performance and Results: In support of objectives to improve disease monitoring and expand prevention services, past HIV activities in Laos have resulted in—
- increased condom sales;
- increased HIV/AIDS awareness through mass media communications; and
- completion of the first-ever Behavioral Surveillance Survey for Laos, which included high-risk populations.
These efforts have resulted in significant progress in educating and providing prevention options for specific populations who are at risk from HIV infection in Laos and while visiting neighboring countries.
Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: Family Health International and Population Services International.
