To realize its HIV & AIDS education programme, IBE is collaborating with UNAIDS co-sponsors, several Divisions at UNESCO's Headquarter, UNESCO offices and institutes in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Central and Latin America, as well as with other experts and partners in curriculum development all over the world. In addition, IBE works closely with Ministries of Education and other partners and stakeholders involved in HIV & AIDS education.

IBE contributes actively to EDUCAIDS-the Global Initiative on Education and HIV & AIDS, for all aspects linked to the development and implementation of effective HIV & AIDS curriculum. The focus is on the development of practical tools to accelerate HIV & AIDS prevention in the formal education sector, and their concrete application in the field.

 

The goal of this initiative is to build capacity and scale up responses in prevention education by linking it closely to other already existing initiatives on treatment, food security, orphans and workplace issues, thus creating and strengthening mutual synergies between all HIV & AIDS related programmes in the education sector.

 

IBE takes part to the UNAIDS Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) on Education meetings whenever issues related the curriculum have been addressed. The IATT provides the practical framework for the development of coordinated action between UNAIDS co-sponsors and some bilateral and multilateral donors.
