There are four components to the project. The advocacy and behavior change component will assist the government to create a favorable legal and policy environment that protects the rights of persons living with HIV/AIDS, and maintain awareness of HIV/AIDS and prevention measures. The prevention in high risk groups and general population component will finance activities to identify high-risk groups, in order to target them with prevention and behavioral change interventions. The access to treatment, care and support for persons living with HIV/AIDS component will support capacity and upgrading current services available for providing treatment, care and support. The surveillance, epidemiology and research component will support a new information system, which will protect the confidentiality of medical records assuring patient privacy through encrypted technology, and improve the quality of the information allowing for cross reference analysis from multiple databases. The sustainable management response component will support the creation and the initial operations of a national council on HIV/AIDS.
