Policy Advocacy
Favourable government policies are indispensable catalysts in any national AIDS response. We also recognize the role unprogressive policies can play, hence in 2001,we went into developing advocacy strategies that would help reform certain policies that may impact negatively on our collective efforts towards addressing the national and global AIDS challenge. So much has been achieved in this regard.
These efforts are ongoing. Some of our success stories in this regard include:
- Advocacy campaign on Access to HIV/AIDS Treatment
- Mobilising Media Activism and Community Participation in Stigma Reduction
