In
every country in Africa, UNDP is a strong advocate for political
will, vision and leadership. It helps to develop capacity in planning,
management and implementation at the local, regional and national
levels, making the response to HIV/AIDS part and parcel of poverty
reduction strategies. Advocating for change and ensuring equitable
access to accurate information about HIV/AIDS, STDs and male and
female condoms are as much a priority as protecting the right of
vulnerable groups and integrating human rights to fight stigmatization
and discrimination.
