authority, ability, and credibility to supported technical capacity
development for HIV/AIDS/STI/TB prevention and control efforts of the
country.
2. The AAU is mandated by the Ethiopian Government to provide
training for all cadres of health care professionals and health social
scientists who are deployed to all regions of the country.
3. As the only National Central Medical Center with the only
medical speciality/residency training in the country, the University
and its colleges and faculties constitute the oldest and largest
training institution, and the most experienced research facility in the
country.
4. The University is associated with the Ministry of Education, and
works closely with the Ministry of Health and other sector ministries,
as well as with a number of regional and international institutions,
including U.S. universities.
C. Funding
Approximately $200,000 is available in FY 2004 to fund this award.
