HIV-SENSITIVE CARE FORCE PLANNING

ACTION ITEMS TO ENSURE SUPPORT & RESOURCES FOR CAREGIVERS OF CHILDREN AFFECTED BY HIV

Earlier this year, the Coalition for Children Affected by AIDS, in collaboration with UNAIDS, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, and the Regional Inter-Agency Task Team on Children and AIDS – East and Southern Africa, hosted a convening intended to identify the necessary interventions, research, advocacy and investment required to meet the unique needs of those responsible for the unpaid care of children affected by HIV.

This group of stakeholders — including donors, program leaders and researchers — used methodology often utilized in workforce planning at national and regional levels. The outcome of this discussion was a set of action items intended to better support community caregivers responsible for children affected by HIV.
