The stakeholders in the National AIDS Committee have all come together with the understanding that a widespread plan for communication is the best way forward for ending AIDS by 2025. The strategy will also help mitigate gaps still prevailing within the current intervention programs, especially in reaching populations around the country with prevention information, sexual health education and sufficient awareness on the basics of HIV/AIDS/STIs along with available services. Apart from the main focus on prevention of transmission, the strategy addresses the barrier of stigmatization surrounding those infected; promoting services related to HIV/AIDS/STI, advocacy related efforts and managing information for monitoring and evaluation.
