JOINT UNITED NATIONS PROGRAMME ON HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)
The Joint United Nations Programme
on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is an unprecedented joint venture in the United Nations
family, bringing together the expertise and resources of six of its organizations
in the field of HIV/AIDS. The activities of UNAIDS aim to help to address
the needs of young people in relation to HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted
diseases (STD). Together with its co-sponsors (UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, UNESCO,
WHO and the World Bank) and other partners, UNAIDS is working towards strengthening
national and international efforts in reaching young people through school
settings as well as through various community channels. UNAIDS also addresses
the needs of youth through activities linked to components of such programmes
as "Alleviation of the impact of HIV/AIDS on children, young people and
their families" and "Difficult-to-reach and vulnerable populations". The
UNAIDS Inter-Agency Working Group on HIV/AIDS and STD Prevention among
Especially Vulnerable Young People and the UNAIDS Inter-Agency Working
Group on Communications are also addressing youth needs.
