Byaruhanga,Emily / 2007

This document offers guidelines on how to address HIV and AIDS related stigma and discrimination and it promotes the rights of people living with HIV and AIDS in Uganda and Tanzania. Information is based on the implementation of ACORD projects in Tanzania and Uganda (from 2006-2007) focusing on promoting the rights of people living with HIV and AIDS through buiding their capacity as well as working with the media. Both groups as equal partners and not just beneficiaries. It is anticipated that sharing good practice will contribute to learning, both within ACORD and outside, on how stigma and discrimination can be addressed as part of a comprehensive response to the HIV and AIDS pandemic, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.
