KHANA plays a leadership and supporting role to local partners who are implementing partner NGOs/ CBOs, connecting them to sources of support and giving them and those they work with a voice to assist and strengthen the community response to HIV and AIDS.
Within our strategic plan for 2008 to 2010, KHANA’s work is based on the four strategic directions:
- Improving coverage and quality of the community response to HIV and AIDS to effectively contribute to meeting Cambodia’s Universal Access Targets
- Building the capacity of civil society to support people living with HIV and orphans and vulnerable children with sensitivity to their needs, including the reduction of stigma and discrimination
- Fostering policy dialogue with decision-makers and resource providers based on practical approaches and lessons learned
- Strengthening strategic alliances with government, across civil society and with resource providers in Cambodia and internationally
Our work is based on three approaches:
- Public Health Approach: KHANA places a focus on primary prevention, seeking to reduce the vulnerability of populations and attending to the needs of the most at risk for the benefit of all. For people living with HIV, KHANA is committed to advancing the goal of universal access to treatment and improving service provision.
- Human Rights Approach: KHANA promotes dignified and equal access to treatment for all those who are vulnerable to and affected by HIV; seeks to reduce stigma and discrimination by communities, service providers and policy-makers; and works to decrease gender disparities in society and power inequalities within relationships.
- Holistic Approach: HIV and AIDS affect not only individuals, but also families and communities. By integrating prevention and care and providing comprehensive care, support and impact mitigation, KHANA not only reduces vulnerability to HIV and AIDS, but also advances the well-being and socio-economic status of those at risk for and affected by HIV and AIDS.
During the period 2008 – 2010, KHANA aims to contribute, in partnership with the government, its development partners, the private sector and civil society, to five strategic results, which will be measured at outcome level:
- Knowledge of HIV and AIDS is increased and linked to decreased risk behavior.
- Coverage and quality of health and social services for vulnerable populations is improved.
- Socio-economic status, including access to social capital for affected individuals, families and communities, is increased.
- Women are empowered and gender disparities that serve as barriers to prevention, care and support are reduced.
- The capacity of society to respond to human needs is increased.
