UNICEF Mekong HIV-AIDS Project Focussing on Children and Women 




 The regional UNICEF Mekong HIV/AIDS
     project (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Southern
     China) focuses on children and women.  


     	We are trying to develop an appropriate care strategy for
	children and women affected by HIV/AIDS.

     	Our goal at the moment is to conduct a baseline assessment of
	organisations or individuals involved in HIV/AIDS care. 


 	Currently, we are focusing upon Thailand, which is at a stage in the
	epidemic in which care for those affected by AIDS is becoming a
	priority.


     We are particularly interested in organisations (both urban and rural)
     which focus more upon community- or home-based care for women and
     children affected by HIV/AIDS, rather than institutionalised care.


     We are trying to compile a list of
     organisations involved in or interested in this subject.
