LENEPWHA Communication and Advocacy Strategy

The Lesotho Network of People Living with HIV and AIDS (LENEPWHA) Advocacy and Communication Strategy has been designed to define the scope of priority issues that affect PLHIVs and in particular LENEPWHA and to provide guidance on conducting advocacy to highlight these issues, and call for action among stakeholders who have a duty and capacity to improve the situation. This strategy is neither exhaustive nor prescriptive, but intended as a guide for advocacy that can be used by LENEPWHA, individuals and organizations with interest in promoting increased support to PLHIV¿s, other Networks for PLHIV, and HIV and AIDS programme planners and implementers in Government, civil society and private sector organizations intending to conduct advocacy activities in Lesotho for and with PLHIV¿s. It is intended to be a living document that can be reviewed and improved at any time. Implementation of this Strategy is expected to contribute to entrenching the principles of Greater Involvement (GIPA) of PLHIV (or Meaningful Involvement (MIPA) of PLHIV as others call it) that has been embraced at global, regional and national levels.
