Enhancing the Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA)
... in NGOs/CBOs in India. This handbook has been developed because research-based evidence shows that NGOs in India may have a limited understanding of what GIPA is and of how to plan and implement it, even if they are aware of the need to involve PLHA. The handbook is a resource collection of information sheets and participatory activities for NGOs working on HIV/AIDS who want to work towards a greater involvement of people living with HIV (GIPA) in their work.
It aims at sensitising NGOs, building individual skills and organisational capacities so that NGO management, staff and volunteers can discuss and plan together in a participatory way how to meaningfully involve people living with HIV in their organisation. Intended audience: NGO support programmes, national and international NGOs, CBOs, individual trainers, training organisations, policy makers. (International HIV/AIDS Alliance in India 2006)
