HIV and AIDS Integrated Programming
Promising Practices III is CRS’ third version of case studies of global promising HIV and AIDS practices. Each of the seventeen case studies is organized according to context, project implementation, identification of successes and lessons learned, and contact information.
This pilot had two strategic objectives: to provide quality care and assistance to people whose lives are at risk because of malnutrition, and to promote community based initiatives to improve the nutritional status of its members. Clients received Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and/or High Energy Protein Supplement (HEPS) in three settings: antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics, hospices and home-based care (HBC) programs.
The Food by Prescription (FBP) model "medicalizes" food by distributing it to clients in small daily "doses" which are dispensed in health facility and community settings.
AIDSRelief supports the rapid scaling up of comprehensive HIV care and treatment services for poor and underserved people in ten African, Caribbean and Latin American countries.
With the increasing feminization of Cambodia’s HIV epidemic comes a heightened emphasis on access to HIV services for women and children. The highly respected Maryknoll PMTCT (prevention of mother-to-child transmission) program has been offering extensive service to mothers living with HIV since 2002. Working in partnership with NCHADS (National Centre for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology, and STD) and the national MCH (Maternal Child Health) program, this program was designed and refined over time to provide much-needed social support as a complement to the government program.
