About EDUCAIDS
EDUCAIDS supports national partners to identify needs and set priorities for a coordinated and comprehensive education sector response to HIV and AIDS.
There is no single “one size fits
all” approach for undertaking this process of needs analysis, prioritisation and work planning. What is essential, however, is the commitment to work through an inclusive process, ensuring opportunities for building ownership of the HIV and AIDS response across the education sector.
