Financial Committment of Govt of India w.r.t young people

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

As a Global Youth Partner (GYP) for UNFPA ,India on HIV/AIDS Prevention program,

I am preparing the UNGASS Youth Report - A review of the UNGASS Targets related

to young people in the Indian context.

In this matter , I need help on a few questions on the Financial Committment of

the Government of India related to HIV prevention among young people.

1. What percentage or amount in a year of government funds has been committed to

HIV/AIDS ?

2. Of these funds , how much has been allocated to HIV Prevention efforts among

young people including life-skills based education , through schools , IEC

campaigns targeted at young people , and programs for the provision of youth

friendly services ?

3. Are most youth related HIV Programmes funded by the Government , by NGO's or

by international organisations ?

Help on these questions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Arindam Roy

Dear Arindam and the forum members,

This could really be an important step leading a path to synergy. Though the

information related to GOI would be accessible through, the web site of MOHFW,

but there are may other ministries and agencies who too work and contribute

their funds in this area.

CARE is one such org.

you may like to access the information through www.careindia.org

and look for CHAYAN program, may please feel free to get in touch for and

further information.

Best wishes

Dr. Pramila Sanjaya
