The National AIDS Prevention and Control Council and its secretariat were established in April 2000. The council is chaired by the president of Ethiopia and comprises members from government, NGOs, religious bodies, and civil society. The council oversees the implementation of the Strategic Framework for the National Response to HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia, examines and approves annual plans and budgets, and monitors plan performance and impact.

The National HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (HAPCO), formerly the National AIDS Council Secretariat) was reestablished by Proclamation No. 276/2002 in July 2002 as the executive arm of the council.


The Strategic Framework for the National Response to HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia for 2001-2005

The strategy is built on four issues: multisectoralism, participation, leadership, and efficient management (including adequate monitoring and evaluation).
