Reducing vulnerability - global programme 2002-2005
As the number of people dying from and contracting HIV/AIDS grows at a terrifying rate, the need for a unified global response is greater than ever. The International Federation's global programme to help families and communities in the fight against HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases is presented in the publication Reducing household vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.

The Federation's global programme is a call to action, a call to support the volunteers and communities that are rising to the enormous challenges posed by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, measles, diarrhoea and other infectious diseases.

Chapters from the publication, which details strategies, objectives, response and implementation plans, are reproduced here in PDF format. The publication will be updated regularly with any new developments.

The 2003 update to this publication is now available online:

UPDATE 2003: Reducing household vulnerability to HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis
