Accelerated access to HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment in Ethiopia - Road map 2007-2008/10

Abstract

After their Excellencies the President and Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia launched the free antiretroviral therapy (ART) rollout program for Ethiopia on 24 January 2005, the Accelerating Access to HIV/AIDS Treatment in Ethiopia: Road Map for 2004- 2006 was finalized in May 2005. This first ―Road Map‖ created a managerial focus centered on the rollout of ART while stressing the importance of embedding ART into a comprehensive HIV/AIDS treatment and care approach. The period covered by the first Road Map has come to an end, and this document, its successor, provides a detailed planning horizon for the next two years and projects targets until 2010.
