Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, Inc. (NCMI) has been a prime partner since FY 2007 under the PEPFAR New Partnership Initiative project, which NCMI has implemented in Ethiopia through its lead implementing agency Fayyaa Integrated Development Association (FIDA) with the capacity building and monitoring support of Helping Hands Africa. Under the New Partnership Initiative, NCMI provided comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention and care services in the areas of AB, OVC, and basic palliative care. As a continuation of this initiative, NCMI will implement these three projects in Ethiopia through FY 2011 to reach 30,000 beneficiaries in AB, 250 PLWHAA and 700 OVC in two regions at seven project sites. The beneficiaries will be targeted through AB, adult care and support and OVC projects, respectively.

FIDA will implement the AB, OVC and palliative care activities at seven project sites found in the Oromia and SNNPR regions in five zones at Nekempte (East Wollega zone), Metu, Bedele (Illubabora zone) Kersa (Jimma zone), Adami Tulu and Dugda (East showa zone), Mizan Tederi (SNNPR in Bench maji zone) districts.

The program uses the peer education model to provide AB programming to youth ages 10-24 and married couples between the ages of 15-49. Under the OVC component, a comprehensive package of services including economic strengthening, shelter and care, education, food and nutrition, psychosocial counseling, and legal protection will be provided to needy OVC beneficiaries. Clinical, social, spiritual, preventive, and psychological services will also be provided under the palliative care project. Cross-cutting and key issues will also be strategically incorporated in the implementation of these three project activities in order to leverage other projects and provide more comprehensive community health services. Accordingly, food and nutrition, economic strengthening, education and gender issues will be addressed through our interventions under AB, OVC, and basic palliative care projects. Moreover, key issues like malaria, child survival, family planning and gender issues will be addressed through wrap-around activities by creating a strong linkage to our other ongoing community health projects including the President's Malaria Initiative, Child Survival and Mitigation, Ending Gender- Based Violence, and Reproductive, Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health projects.

While implementing these projects, NCMI will devise different mechanisms for cost effectiveness and consequently the projects that are planned for COP 2010 will be coordinated with other existing programs in order to maximize shared costs and create economies of scale. NCMI has already developed a well-defined M&E plan for the implementation of these three project activities under the NPI project and this plan will be updated in order to incorporate the next generation of indicators. The link between activities, output and outcome has been clearly defined in NCMI's M&E plan and the systematic M&E tools will be used for ongoing analysis, quality assurance, and tracking the progress at all levels.
