HIV/AIDS has become a serious development challenge in Ethiopia. According to the estimates by the Ethiopian National AIDS Council (NAC), AIDS has infected about 400,000 people and HIV positive people will number about 2.5 million by the end of 2002. The number of people between the ages of 15-49 living with HIV/AIDS is estimated to be 1.9 million 1.1 million of whom are women. This tragic consequence affects the reproductive force, especially women, resulting to a social and economic crisis in Ethiopia. The workshop was designed to provide an exchange of information, and a shared understanding of the role that multimedia can play in the prevention and control of HIV/ AIDS in Ethiopia. The objectives were to assess the extent to which multimedia has been used in Ethiopia's HIV/AIDS prevention and control efforts; Explore the feasibility of enhancing a multimedia campaign; Examine the possibility of creating and strengthening the national electronic and print media coalition against AIDS and to share experiences with other journalists networks against HIV/ AIDS in other African countries; Provide a forum of exposure on the role of multi-media to the media group that underwent leadership training through HIV/ AIDS and development projects; Identify possible areas of future interventions by ECA, UNDP and other stakeholders and provide an input into the development of UNDP's larger HIV/AIDS program in Ethiopia.
