WHO
SEARO and UNICEF are conducting the third Training of Trainers in HIV
Voluntary Counselling and Testing with the general objective of strengthening
institutional capacity in providing HIV voluntary counselling and testing
services and training.
Participation
is by invitation only and WHO SEAR participants include those from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. In addition, there will be
participants from UNICEF EAPR.
The
participants will acquire basic counselling and management skills for
implementing HIV counselling and testing services as well as learn
facilitators’ training technology to be applied for HIV voluntary counselling
and testing training activities.
The
timing of the workshop is most appropriate since capacity of health care
providers needs to be strengthened to increase access to knowledge of HIV
status as an entry point to HIV/AIDS care and treatment. This will be an
important step towards accelerating progress towards achieving the “3 by 5”
targets.
