Practical guidelines for supporting EDUCAIDS implementation

This Framework is designed to enable the education sector at a national level to understand the need for a robust response to HIV and AIDS in order to achieve Education for All (EFA) and the education-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)1. It also highlights the education sector’s role in providing a unique and critical contribution to national responses to HIV and AIDS in the context of universal access to HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support. Rather than providing a blueprint or a programme for education sector action on HIV and AIDS, the Framework provides an approach that the education sector can use to mainstream HIV and AIDS in ways that are adapted to each national context. Originally designed by UNESCO for UNESCO staff involved in supporting the implementation of EDUCAIDS at country level, these guidelines can be adapted and used by the staff of other international development partners that support education sector responses to HIV. and AIDS at national levels.
