Network of HIV & AIDS Focal Points in Asia and the Pacific
UNESCO is supporting programming in the area of HIV and sexuality education in many countries in the Asia-Pacific region. This work is led by staff in UNESCO Field Offices covering one country or those covering a cluster of countries. The HIV Prevention and Health Promotion Unit, formely called the HIV Coordination, Adolescent Reproductive and School Health Unit, in UNESCO Bangkok places a supportive role to this work.
If you need to contact UNESCO staff supporting programming in Asia and the Pacific region, please address the following focal points:
