This is a continuing activity that provides technical support to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) and the Regional Health Bureaus (RHBs) to strengthen their program capacity and leadership at the central and regional levels. The World Health Organization (WHO), as a global directing and coordinating UN health agency, will continue to work with FMOH to provide TA support mainly focusing on development of national policies and normative guidelines, surveillance and surveys, training of trainers (TOT) and capacity-building for TB and HIV control at the program level. WHO collaborates with Columbia University (CU-ICAP), in supporting the smooth transition of in-service training and site-level support activities to the RHBs. WHO will play a key role in keeping the national technical working groups (TWGs) active and functional for improved mobilization and coordination of technical and financial resources at the national level. The partner will also assist the FMOH to identify TB and HIV program-related research priorities and generate HIV drug resistance information to better inform programs in the country. WHO will continue its support to the FMOH and RHBs to establish efficient and sustainable national blood transfusion services that assure the quality, safety, and adequacy of blood and blood products. WHO will also closely work with the Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute (EHNRI) to ensure continuity of TB and HIV-related surveillance activities to generate quality surveillance data on a routine basis to inform the programs. WHO's activities are in full support of the goals of the GOE's National Strategic Plan (SPMII), and will continue to align activities with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and Global Health Initiative.

Mechanism Target Information

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.

This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
