Several examples are shown below: Partnership with NGOs Over US$ 1 million grant aid to grass-roots projects by NGOs ( See Annex 2 ) Effectiveness of any measure against HIV/AIDS depends on how far it reaches at local community level. Japan has been assisting NGO activities in many countries afflicted with HIV/AIDS pandemic by providing over US$ 1 million grant aid during FY 2000. Those assistance are for projects on prevention and care, medical facilities, and care for AIDS orphans.

Most of the AIDS patients are in the 20s and infected in their teenage. In March this year, a project started for HIV/AIDS prevention, reduction of AIDS death rates, and empowerment of youth whose families are AIDS patients or AIDS orphans. One of activities under the project was a church-based workshop on HIV/AIDS, organized by the local NGO "National Progressive Primary Health Care," to foster young trainers on HIV/AIDS education.

Japan-Canada joint project formulation mission to Malawi HIV prevalence rate of adult in Malawi is very high, reaching about 16%. With the aim to support Malawi in her effort to tackle the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, Japan and Canada have agreed to dispatch a joint mission to Malawi during FY 2001 to strengthen cooperation and coordination in their aid programmes to the health sector of the country. 2 Strengthening institutions Strengthening institutions Without adequate institutional capacity in the health sector, no efforts will bear fruit. Japan has supported developing countries by extending assistance to institutional capacity building.

Human resources development Human resources development 3 Human capital is the foundation of the fight against HIV/AIDS, and requires utmost support from the international community. Japan supports development of human resources in the developing countries through various programmes such as: AIDS management course AIDS management course by FASID was held jointly with USAID and assisted by an US NGO in Ho Chi Minh city in November 2000. Staffs from Japan and Indo-china region gathered to learn know-how on project management to address HIV/AIDS. The FASID plans a senior project management course in Chiangmai city in 2001 with financial support from the Japan-ASEAN Solidarity Fund.

Enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of cooperation, as well as fostering a spirit of partnership. Third country training programmes Third country training programmes aim to promote technical transfer and cooperation among developing countries. Japan supports third country training programmes including: - A seminar on blood screening at KEMRI (Kenya Medical Research Institute), with the participation of 16 African countries including South Africa and Botswana. (KEMRI was constructed with financial support of Japan’s grant aid, and has been supported by Japan’s technical cooperation.) - Annual training programmes on diagnostic technology on HIV and opportunistic infection at the Research Institute for Tropical Medicine in the Philippines, gathering 20 officials from countries of Asia and the Pacific. Seminar on the Development of Health and Medical Services Out of the world total of those infected with HIV/AIDS, about 70% are in sub-Sahara Africa where only a tenth of world population lives. Co-hosted with UNAIDS November 2000, a seminar on the development of health and medical services aimed at promoting exchange and sharing of experiences and knowledge on HIV/AIDS control between Africa and other regions. As one of follow-ups of TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development), the seminar was attended by 11 senior officials and experts mainly from Africa and Asia.

The third country training programmes conducted at these institutes with financial and technical support from Japan are: - on diagnostic technology on HIV/AIDS and viral hepatitis in Kenya (1998-) - on polio diagnosis in collaboration with WHO in Ghana (1991-95) - on yellow fever diagnosis in Ghana (1996-98) 5 Promotion of research activi Promotion of research activities ties Technological innovation can make a big step forward to contain HIV/AIDS epidemic. From this perspective, Japan has extended its support to research and development in this area. Support for building laboratory capacity in HIV/AIDS In Africa, Based on a ten-year assistance project for the construction of a virology and TB laboratory at the University Teaching Hospital and its capacity development, a new project started in March 2000 to further contribute to effective control of the most deadly diseases in Zambia, HIV/AIDS and TB, by; - further capacity building of national reference laboratory, - standardization and quality assurance of peripheral front- line laboratories, - more laboratory services use by clinicians, - promotion of use of laboratory data and research results by decision-makers, - enhanced collaboration between laboratory workers and national programmes. and TB control in Zambia ( of nt me op l e 8 s pic (To Topics 8) Dev Development of HIV/AIDS Scre i K ening HIV/AIDS Screening Kit by KEMRI t by KEMRI Japan has supported KEMRI through technical assistance for its R & D activities. One of such projects aims to attain capacity for local production of HIV/AIDS blood screening diagnostic kits. A target of the project is to build Kenya’s capacity, by utilizing the P 3 laboratory (constructed with financial support from Japan in February 1999), to procure raw material and equipment for the kits on its own, which have been imported from Japan at present. By establishing production technology of diagnostic kits, it is expected to disseminate diagnostic technology to other regions of Kenya and its neighboring countries. In Asia, Cooperation for R&D on HIV/AIDS in Thailand Cooperation projects with National Institute of Health have been conducted to improve capacity of Thailand on research and development on HIV/AIDS and other emerging infectious diseases. Under the projects, Japan launched a new initiative starting with a seminar in March 2001 with other donors and leading research institutes for improving Thailand’s HIV vaccine evaluation system, gathering participants from Thailand, Japan, US and UK.

The research, applying vaccine manufacturing technology utilizing BCG which Japanese scientists had developed, is conducted at the National Institute of Health (NIH) of Thailand with the participation of government research institutes and universities from Thai side and National Institute of Infectious Diseases and Japan Science Technology Corporation from Japanese side. NIH was established in 1986 through Japan's grant assistance. Since then, Japan and Thailand have implemented research and development projects on prevention of infectious diseases over 10 years. The vaccine research project is based on these long-standing collaboration between the two countries. 6 Opportunistic infection control Opportunistic infection control (TB control TB control) TB control is an effective means to prevent the expansion of HIV/AIDS calamity as TB is the leading cause of death in people with HIV/AIDS and the two diseases create a vicious cycle to the condition of infected people. From this viewpoint too, Japan has been providing assistance to many developing countries in their efforts for TB control. Those supports include: Bilateral aid to high-burden countries such as; Cambodia Cambodia JP„ 803 million (US$ 7 million) grant aid to the project for improvement of the National TB Center (CENAT) and provision of equipment. Assistance continues through grant aid and technical cooperation, expected to restore and improve capacity in administration, training and testing on TB control.

Japan has also undertaken its assistance for TB and HIV/TB co-infection control in the context of Japan-US collaboration. The assistance includes dispatch of Japanese experts to instruct tests for a study on HIV-positive rate among TB patients as well as the holding of a training course on TB and HIV/AIDS control for Cambodian doctors of major hospitals in 2001. This project is scheduled to continue until July 2004. JP„ 321 million (US$ 3 million) grant aid to provide medical equipment (including microscopes) and anti-TB drugs indispensable to a project for TB control in poor areas in collaboration with WHO. This enables to implement DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment, Short Course) programme for 35% of people living in the targeted poor areas, and to provide treatment to about 4.5 thousand patients.
