E-DRUG: Scaling up access to ARVs with African community based organizations
------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Africa, people living with HIV and the communities that are most affected
by AIDS have mobilized against the pandemic. They are the one fighting the
disease and providing care, treatment and support to those in need.
As SIDACTION works on this issue, we have witnessed the strong commitment of
African community based organizations towards access to antiretroviral
medicines for their members and beneficiaries. With support from UNAIDS we
decided to document and promote those activities, especially bringing them
to the attention of financial donors.
The results of this work are now available on a website at:
http://www.sidaction.org/accescommun/index_en.php
You will find an assessment of community based organization9s activities
around HIV treatment and care, an overview of their access to ARVs, and a
country by country database of all NGOs and CBOs involved in facilitating
access to treatments for people living with HIV.
