This project contributes to controlling the spread of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and to the provision of sustainable, equitable and comprehensive health care for those infected and affected by the disease. It supports a series of sub-projects designed to develop multi-sectoral approaches to addressing HIV/AIDS prevention, care and community support. The sub-projects also aim to integrate gender equality and human rights considerations in to the HIV/AIDS response.
