Nicaragua
The USAID Mission’s HIV/AIDS focus in Nicaragua is to help prevent the development of a generalized epidemic by supporting interventions targeted at key vulnerable populations, including men who have sex with men, commercial sex workers, adolescents, and young adults. Its goals are to expand the availability and usage of condoms, to reduce high-risk sexual behavior, and to increase detection of sexually transmitted infections. Toward these ends, USAID supports the following country activities, providing $500,000 in 2002:
- Development of a behavior change communications strategy that will provide a framework for mobilizing public, private, and international donor resources;
- Condom provision to the National AIDS Control Program and to nongovernmental organizations; and
- Technical assistance to nongovernmental organizations in institutional strengthening, advocacy, and social marketing.
