This is a continuing activity from COP09. The activity procures condoms from the manufacturer and delivers condoms to Ethiopia for use in various PEPFAR programs: 1) the Preventive Care Package for HIV/AIDS (Activity ID 18697.28252.09), 2) Targeted Condom Promotion (Activity ID 6631.28285.09), and 3) other PEPFAR programs as needed.

Products are utilized for social marketing, the preventive care package being distributed to HIV-positive individuals, and for use in facility and non-facility based programs, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other stakeholders.

Distribution is coordinated with the MOH Pharmaceutical Fund and Supply Agency (PFSA), Population Services International (PSI), the Partnership for Supply Chain Management (PSCM), and other partners. This activity provides condoms for all PEPFAR programs, within funding limits.

USAID/Ethiopia staff provides supervision and USAID/Washington provides intensive quality assurance of all manufactured product, ensuring that quality condoms are shipped.

No PEPFAR required/essential indicators are applicable to this activity. Specific indicators to follow this activity will be developed by PEPFAR/Ethiopia Technical Working Group(s) during COP 2010.

Target populations include all HIV positive individuals, including those who receive services at health facilities and in community settings, and most-at-risk populations in all settings

Geographic coverage is national, with a focus on high HIV prevalence/high potential impact sites. Actual population coverage will depend on funding level and condom promotion efforts to increase usage rates.

Activities are linked with non-PEPFAR-funded social marketing, USAID-funded family planning activities, MOH activities, and gradual integration of condom procurement and distribution in MOH systems.

Under COP 2010, procurement of approximately 120 million condoms is proposed (70 million for use in a new social marketing program, 15 million for the Preventive Care Package, 30 million for MARPs, and 5 million for public sector health facilities. The overall cost is $3,600,000 including freight and shipping surcharges. These will complement condoms purchased for family planning by USAID, for youth clubs by the MOH, and for social marketing by DKT International.
