NNPWE supports national efforts by addressing gender-specific gaps, ensuring women’s access to HIV treatment and reproductive health services, and fighting harmful traditional practices to promote social and health equity.

Ethiopia’s HIV response relies heavily on external funding, which faces cuts. NNPWESHAD’s resource mobilization ensures sustained services, such as community level adherence, care and support and HIV prevention programs, to maintain progress toward the 95-95-95 HIV targets.

NNPWESHAD collaborates with major partners like Global Fund, the Ministry of Health, and ActionAid Ethiopia, Project Hope, Management Science for Health, AIDS Healthcare Foundation, Plan International, NEP+, Plan UK, Cristian Aid, CCRDA and USAID  to support its programs and working together
