HIV/AIDS

Capacity Building

 

HIV/AIDS prevention and control services need to be geared up for an effective response to the epidemic. For rapid scale-up HIV/AIDS services would need to be integrated with the public health system so that they are easily accessible to all those in need of it.

 

The WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia is supporting these efforts by building capacity in the Member countries of the Region by improving health system infrastructure and management as well as providing training. The potential areas for focused capacity building and training include rapid assessments and response, advocacy, testing and counselling, monitoring and evaluation and harm reduction.

 

The Regional Office is conducting training of trainers as well as preparing generic training modules that can be adapted by the countries. It is also developing tools for evaluating training programmes to improve efforts in capacity building.
