Africa's Orphaned and Vulnerable Generations: Children Affected by AIDS


Publication Date

December 1, 2006

Summary

This document was assembled to show how the AIDS epidemic continues to affect sub-Saharan Africa children disproportionately, making them more vulnerable than other children, leaving many of them orphaned, and threatening their survival. Released by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS,) and the United States President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the report contains research on orphans and vulnerable children, including what governments, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the private sector, and the international community can do to better respond.
