Strengthening the Education Sector Response to HIV&AIDS in the - Caribbea

Klappentext The Caribbean Region is second only to Africa in the impact of HIV/AIDS. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has responded to this challenge by promoting a multisectoral response to the epidemic. UNESCO has provided regional leadership in strengthening the education sector component of this response. In 2005, UNESCO launched, with CARICOM and the World Bank, a regional dialogue involving representatives of Ministries of Education, national HIV/AIDS coordinating councils, development partners, and regional institutions providing leadership in the HIV response, which led tot he development and endorsement of a regional Proposal for Action: Accelerating the Education Sector Response to HIV&AIDS in the Caribbean Region. In June 2006, Ministers of Education and representatives of National AIDS Authorities met in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, and agreed to promote education sector leadership in addressing HIV/AIDS. This report describes the development of these regional processes and how they have led to an education sector response at the regional level.
