Ethiopia

Overview

CHAI has partnered with the Government of Ethiopia to improve the health of Ethiopians since 2005. We support the government in expanding access to breast cancer, diabetes, and HIV treatment, strengthening laboratory systems, improving maternal and neonatal health, and bolstering vaccine supply and use. We are also collaborating with the government to advance universal health coverage by improving health financing mechanisms. Beyond these areas, CHAI has initiated innovative projects to support national efforts on assistive technologies for children with disabilities, and to enhance data access, quality, and use for neglected tropical diseases.

CHAI’s partnership with the Government of Ethiopia has led to many transformative initiatives that have catalyzed changes in policy and practice, resulting in country-wide adoption. CHAI continues to be a thought partner to the government on both disease-specific and integrated health systems interventions, helping ensure all programming is aligned with national strategies and initiatives.
