AIDS Competence

What is AIDS Competence?

AIDS Competence means that we as people in families, communities, in organizations and in policy making:

– Acknowledge the reality of HIV/AIDS– Act from strength to build our capacity to respond– Reduce vulnerability and risks– Learn and share with others and– Live out our full potential

Basic Premises of the Approach

Effective responses are grounded in the strength of communities and in their collaboration with service providers and policy makers

Communities, organisations and people influencing policy can continuously develop human capacity to achieve AIDS Competence

We can use our own knowledge and experience and adapt that of others so that everyone becomes more competent in dealing with HIV/AIDS

Everyone has something to share. Everyone has something to learn.

Organisations: the shift in values

We believe in our own expertise to provide solutions

We believe in people’s strengths to respond

We control a disease We facilitate responses

We respond to need We reveal strength

You have a problem Together, you and we have solutions
