Project Information
| Project Name: | SIDA Burdin'a |
| Project Description: | |
| The SIDA Burdin'a (roughly translated as AIDS and people in movement) is based in Diffa region in the far east of Niger. A total of 32 villages or population units (as in the case of pastoralists) are targeted. Working in collaboration with local organizations, associations and community-based groups, CARE helps communities identify the main risks of AIDS and impacts on the community. Together the communities learn to develop solutions to reduce the risk of AIDS, identify strategies that communities can develop to reduce the impact of AIDS on their livelihood security and to care for those with AIDS. The project targets the main market areas and outlying communities. A particular emphasis is placed on the nomadic pastoralist population, which moves seasonally within the region and into neighboring countries. | |
