The Central Contraceptive Procurement project's purpose is to centrally procure quality condoms products to all HIV prevention partners such as 1) Mulu-I and Mulu-II 2) Preventive Care Package for HIV/AIDS distributed to HIV-positive individuals 3) Targeted condom promotion and distribution 4) Other PEPFAR & FMOH (facility and community based)programs as needed. The objectives are to 1) Efficiently distribute the condoms through the existing Population Services International (PSI) distribution network 2) Coordinate procurement efforts with other donors and partners including the USAID health team, Pharmeceutical Funding Supply Agency (PFSA), DKT and UNFPA and other major condom donors to ensure cost efficiency; 3) Ensure quality assurance of condom commodities procurement, manufacturing and distribution via supportive supervision from USAID/Ethiopia and Washington. This is aligned with PF Goal 1: to reduce the national HIV incidence by support to ensure supply and procurement of condoms and enhanced technical capacity for resource mobilization as well as the GHI HSS: Commodity and Logistics Systems strategy. Target populations include most-at-risk populations (MARPS) in all settings and all HIV positive individuals. 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. With COP FY 2012 and the pipeline, procurement of approximately 120 M condoms are proposed (70 M for use in a new social marketing program, 15 M for the Preventive Care Package, 30 M for MARPs, and 5 M for public health facilities). No PEPFAR required/essential indicators are applicable to this activity; however we will track progress in-country.
