Abstract
In January 2003, the Eritrean Ministry
of Health prepared a National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS for
2003-2007. In an effort to boost progress in the Community
Managed Response (CMR) component of the plan, the government
and the World Bank explored the rapid results approach to
accelerate the number of community project proposals. The
initiative was launched in Asmara on February 24, 2003
through a two day workshop. Specific 100-day goals were
agreed upon, self selected teams were assembled, and
leadership and resource structures of support and
accountability were established. At the conclusion of the
workshop the participants agreed on four major areas to
focus their initial actions: (a) voluntary counseling and
testing, (b) school prevention, (c) behavioral change, and
(d) home-based care.
