There is currently no challenge more daunting to the Asia and Pacific region than that of battling the HIV/AIDS pandemic. This Multiministerial Action Guide emphasizes the need for governments to take a holistic approach to the disease and suggests specific ways in which different government ministries can be involved. It is an attempt to merge insights into tackling HIV/AIDS from around the world with the specific needs and capabilities of that region. The guide is a useful tool for civil society organizations, the private sector and international donors working with governments on HIV/AIDS issues. A CD-ROM with useful background information on HIV/AIDS issues is included.
