Global Presence

In order to stem Ethiopia's AIDS epidemic and treat those infected, MSH is implementing the HIV & AIDS Care and Support Program (HCSP). HCSP is strengthening the health system and rapidly scaling up diagnostic and treatment services for HIV & AIDS and tuberculosis in five targeted regions with three interrelated strategic models:

• A results-oriented strategic framework as a basis for HIV prevention—access to treatment, care, and support services at facility and community levels, and strengthened health systems and referral networks for antiretroviral treatment.
• The family-focused approach puts the family in the center of all activities, supported by community- and faith-based organizations, coordinated by community health workers, and linked with facility-based services, which are supported by a network of public and private institutions.
• Performance-based contracting will engage a large number of public and private institutions at all levels throughout the country in the rapid scale-up of services. Through this contracting plan, 25% of the project’s resources are committed directly to Ethiopian public and private organizations.
