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. The project, which is managed by CIDA's Program Support Unit in Nigeria, 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.
