HIV and AIDS programme

All people have a right to achieve the highest standards of health. This is only possible in societies that respect and promote access to information and full participation in all aspects of public life.

OSISA has traditionally supported a number of initiatives focused on HIV and AIDS, and the organization is committed to ensuring that HIV and AIDS issues are fully integrated into all areas of work. In April 2005, the OSISA HIV and AIDS programme began full operations.

The programme works to support civil society organisations involved in:

• advocacy to promote the implementation of HIV and AIDS policies and laws;
• monitoring resource flows and expenditures on HIV and AIDS, both nationally and internationally;
• promoting civil society engagement in policy and law making processes;
• promoting access to care, support and treatment for socially and geographically marginalised and vulnerable groups of people.
