The Pacific Regional HIV/AIDS Project [PRHP] has been designed in response to the need for teamwork and for even better planning, technical design, management and evaluation of HIV/AIDS responses in the Pacific. The aim of PRHP is to help strengthen the capacity of Pacific Island governments, NGOs and communities to develop, implement and evaluate multi-sectoral responses to HIV/AIDS.
The five-year project [2003 -2008] is part of an increasingly closely co-ordinated regional approach to HIV/AIDS. It is integrated with the Franco-Australian Pacific HIV/AIDS/STI Initiative and will work closely with the new UNAIDS regional programme, the Pacific Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria [managed by SPC] and other regional and national initiatives.
