Education Sector Responses to HIV
UNESCO has made education sector responses key to its HIV response as a means to reach adolescents and young people. It convenes the UNAIDS Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education, a network of more than 30 agencies (including UNAIDS Cosponsors, bilateral agencies, and civil society partners) promoting education sector responses to HIV and AIDS. It also leads the UNAIDS global initiative on education and HIV & AIDS, also known as EDUCAIDS.
EDUCAIDS promotes comprehensive education sector responses to HIV and AIDS at the country-level. The EDUCAIDS Framework for Action and background Technical Briefs on core areas of the response are key tools in strengthening efforts to achieve Universal Access to prevention programmes, treatment, care and support, promoted by the UNAIDS Joint Programme.
