Our Work

Our primary objectives are:

  • To address and promote national and regional responses to the human rights challenges in reducing the spread of HIV among vulnerable populations

  • To provide support for members and partners of CVC in facilitating access to stigma- and discrimination-free care and treatment for people living with HIV and AIDS from vulnerable populations

  • To facilitate the prevention of HIV transmission among vulnerable populations represented by CVC

At the regional level, since impact on the ground is important to us, we work to develop leadership skills and support the establishment of communities of practice. At the community level, practitioners within CVC focus on community outreach, the promotion and distribution of condoms and other sexual and reproductive health commodities, and advocate for the rights of the disenfranchised. We have a particular concern for the poor among these groups who are twice marginalised.
