Background
The Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria is currently operating in a rapidly changing environment, with numbers of HIV/AIDS cases ranking number two globally. The epidemic has in several states moved from the high risk groups to the general population. The country's hope for effectively mounting and coordinating a mass national response is largely hinged on the State Authority Control for AIDS (SACA). A new paradigm is being formed taking into account global experiences for local action. Several multilateral and bilateral donors support the national programme
The Country's HIV/AIDS pandemic is widely hypothesized to be both a cause and consequence of this humanitarian crisis, with a particularly disastrous impact on people living with HIV/AIDS.
Within this context, the exceeding challenging nature of tasks and demands facing UNAIDS in Nigeria becomes apparent. PCB has encouraged strengthened support for country level (joint) governmental, multilateral, bilateral and nonpublic scaled up response to HIV/AIDS to meet the challenges faced. UNAIDS in Nigeria has thus proposed a management structure to suffice this demand.Click Here to Read More and Apply
