UNDP
TURKEY AND HIV/AIDS
UNDP/Turkey plays an
active role in the UN Country Team's Theme Group on HIV/AIDS
to integrate HIV/AIDS issues and concerns into UNDP's programmes
and strategies.
In partnership with
other UN agencies in Turkey, UNDP is contributing to the objectives
of strengthening the national response to HIV/AIDS, supporting
advocacy and coalition-building among national stakeholders,
and supporting education, training and awareness-raising.
In particular, UNDP's
programmes that focus on young people and street children
in Southeastern Anatolia (the GAP region) will enable awareness-raising
and training on HIV/AIDS related issues. These in turn help
to strengthen national efforts at awareness and prevention
among at-risk and vulnerable populations.
UNAIDS:
A joint response to HIV/AIDS
The joint United
Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, UNAIDS, is the
main advocate for global action on the epidemic. It
leads, strengthens and supports an expanded response
aimed at preventing transmission of HIV, providing care
and support, reducing the vulnerability of individuals
and communities to HIV/AIDS and alleviating the impact
of the epidemic.
