New USAID HIV/AIDS Publication -- Project Profiles: Children Af-
fected by AIDS
----------------------------------------------------------------
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is pleased
to announce the launch of the fourth edition of USAID Project
Profiles: Children Affected by HIV/AIDS 2005. This document pre-
sents profiles of 114 projects (90 country-specific, 12 re-
gional, and 12 global) funded by USAID. The diversity of these
projects demonstrates the determination of the U.S. government
to meet the wide variety of needs of children and adolescents
affected by HIV/AIDS. Documentation of these activities promotes
an exchange of ideas and information, leverages technical and
financial resources, and encourages partnerships, collaboration,
and coordination among programs supported by USAID, other U.S.
agencies, new partners, and other donors. As a partner in the
President's Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief, USAID will con-
tinue to increase care and support activities that benefit or-
phans and vulnerable children.
Each of the 114 projects in this report aims to improve the
lives of orphans and vulnerable children. Approaches to achieve
this goal vary in both strategy and scale. The vast majority of
projects work with communities to identify opportunities that
strengthen existing resources without undermining local owner-
ship. In many places, communities are already mobilized and have
systems in place to identify, protect, and provide basic neces-
sities to the most vulnerable children. USAID supports the
strengthening and monitoring of these existing activities.
