arrowBEYOND THE PROJECT ACTION

 

AIDInc Combats Stigma and Discrimination and builds resources and partnerhsips  for sustainability  

In 2009 AIDInc successfully bid for  3 -year DfID Contract to combat Stigma & Discrimination in the Caribbean Region. This project was the first of its kind to adopt  a regional human rights evidence based approach to stigma reduction and at the same-time seek to establish and strengthen  a tripartite oversight structure for implmentation and long term  sustainbility, in the form of a regional stigma and discrimination unit (PANCAP-RSDU)  situated in Barbados and coordinated through the HIV technical  unit (PANCAP) of the  CARICOM  Government -   in Guyana. 

__________________________________

 

The project was deemed high risk by the donors in this regard. However, not withstanding several obstacles and bottlenecks, by 2012 significant capacity and voice had been built among civil society, in particular, marginalised communities -  empowering them to meaningfully lead national anti- stigma and human rights initiatives,  underpinned  by strong  horizontal and vertical partnerships, i.e. with National AIDS programmes  faith leaders, media and youth organisations. Beyond 2013, a number of resources and tools  are available and used by community groups to continue to target and empower vulnerable groups and reduce human rights violations enacted towards them.
