UNDP Uzbekistan

UNDP works to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and reduce its impact. As a trusted development partner, and co-sponsor of UNAIDS, it helps countries put HIV/AIDS at the centre of national development and poverty reduction strategies; build national capacity to mobilize all levels of government and civil society for a coordinated and effective response to the epidemic; and protect the rights of people living with AIDS, women, and vulnerable populations. Because HIV/AIDS is a world-wide problem, UNDP supports these national efforts by offering knowledge, resources and best practices from around the world.

In Uzbekistan support is facilitated through the implementation of the project funded by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculoses and Malaria. Targeted support is provided to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS into the general population by reducing its impact on the most vulnerable groups.
