Support to community groups

The "Support to Community Groups" component (APCOM)
reinforces the 9 country teams by providing conceptual, programmatic and management support.

Associative life is a key element in the rising of community efforts to stimulate a better health, particularly concerning STI and AIDS as they pound down high risk groups. Il is also a key element linking health initiatives  with the health system. APCOM targets commercial sex users and young people, and is a health promotion mecanism including condom use and early service demand to health facilities. APCOM provides technical, managerial and financial support. Emphasis will be put on gender unequal relationships. Both male and female condoms will be offered.

Operational research will be undertaken. Successes and lessons learned will be collected as technical documents and distributed. National, sub-regional and internaitonal partnerships will be encouraged.
