| description |
This case study documents how India, the
world’s second most populous country, pulled the reins on a
global epidemic to stop it in its tracks from growing into a
generalized epidemic. Central to the case study is the story
of a government body, the National AIDS Control Organization
(NACO) that, with the support of international development
organizations like the World Bank, deftly collaborated with
civil society organizations to engage with communities that
had a high risk of HIV infection and were also highly
marginalized to implement large scale behavior change in the
interest of individual and public health. Above all, this is
a story of courage, resilience and gumption of some of the
most hidden and disenfranchised communities of India in
taking charge of their destinies with respect to HIV-AIDS
and demonstrating that if provided with the right
programmatic structure and a supportive ecosystem, they can
rise towards a better tomorrow. This case study is the story
of India’s fight against HIV-AIDS and the significant role
played by Targeted Interventions in this fight. Targeted
Interventions are a resource-effective approach to offer HIV
prevention and care services to high-risk populations within
communities by providing them with the information, means
and skills they need to minimize HIV transmission and
improving their access to care, support and treatment services. |
