Activities

HACC provides opportunities for networking among members and other civil-society networks to encourage policy change and protection for people living with HIV/AIDS and develop preventive measures. The organization works with the government, international donors, and the UN by:

  • Collaborating with members to coordinate the NGO response to HIV and AIDS at the national and provincial levels.
  • Promoting communication and information-sharing among members and all involved in the HIV and AIDS response in Cambodia and internationally.
  • Raising awareness of HIV and AIDS and gaps in service delivery of HIV/AIDS treatment and preventative measures.
  • Representing NGOs responding to HIV and AIDS at national and international forums, where they have received a mandate from their members to do so.
  • Advocating for full civil-society involvement in determining policy, setting targets, developing plans, and monitoring progress related to HIV and AIDS response on a national level.

HACC and other members working with HIV/AIDS focus on youth as most at-risk people (MARP), along with orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs), injecting drug users (IDU/DU), sex workers, and prisoners. In the National Strategic Plan III (NSPIII) 2011–2015, HACC played a role in coordinating and facilitating the participation of civil societies in planning and launching the plan, Water Festival Day, and World AIDS Day in coordination with Cambodia's National AIDS Authority.
