To further increase general awareness and knowledge of HIV, and reduce risk behaviour for at risk and vulnerable populations. These objectives can only be meaningfully achieved and sustained under the commitments to UA and MDG after programmes worked towards achieving 80% service coverage among most at risk populations where 60% practice safe behaviours.
