A Strategic Approach: HIV & AIDS and Education

This document updates the 2003 Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education publication, HIV/AIDS and Education: A Strategic Approach. It presents a strategic vision of the important role that education must play in addressing HIV, identifies key priorities for responding to HIV and AIDS through education, puts forward central objectives for education responses, and outlines how the response should be tailored to the local epidemiological situation and other contextual factors.

This publication targets decision-makers and practitioners in the education sector as well as colleagues who work on HIV and AIDS responses in other sectors. It can be used as an advocacy tool to build commitment to the role of education in the HIV and AIDS response and to generate multisectoral partnerships for implementation.
