World AIDS Day Highlights HIV/AIDS Initiatives in Central Asia
USAID projects conducted a number of events across Central Asia to mark World AIDS Day and increase HIV/AIDS awareness. Two USAID-funded projects, the Central Asian Program for AIDS Control Interventions Targeting Youth (CAPACITY) project and the Drug Demand Reduction Project (DDRP), arranged concerts, contests, and screenings of documentaries, conducted TV debates on stigma around HIV/AIDS, and carried out other informational and educational events. Throughout the year, the two projects reach out to thousands of people in target areas across the region with training, outreach and counseling on HIV and drug use prevention. In Tajikistan alone, USAID-funded activities reached more than 42,000 vulnerable youth in 2007.
