AIM's approach is driven by the needs of local government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community-based organizations (CBOs) and the private sector working in selected districts. The community and those affected by HIV will also have a vital role in the design of the program. Through the provision of technical assistance and involvement of grassroots-level stakeholders, AIM will support the establishment and management of integrated services for those heavily impacted and burdened by HIV. This involves integrating other development areas including tuberculosis (TB), malaria, food security, micro-nutrients, water and sanitation, income generating projects, gender issues, and orphan care.

Link Type: Training
Country: United States
In an effort to halt the spread of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, World Education is conducting a sustained education, training and community mobilization effort in close collaboration with African partner organizations. The program has a strong multiplier effect by strengthening the training capacity of government and non-governmental organization (NGO) health workers so that their knowledge is transferred to local communities where services are most needed. By targeting health professionals already employed in the health system, World Education helps institutionalize counselor and home-based care training at the ministry level so that new skills become an integral part of regular health care delivery. Combining participants from different ministries and the NGO sector has created a way for participants from multiple sectors to share their experiences and skills. Building stronger links between the government and NGO sector and between different line ministries promotes a unified national approach to combat the epidemic across different sectors. By also emphasizing community level training, local capacity can be built to help fight the spread of AIDS.
