HIV/AIDS and Refugees. UNHCR's Strategic Plan 2002 - 2004

This strategic plan (2002-2004) is based on the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) policies and technical and normative guidance from UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO). The paper states UNHCR's objectives and key strategies to combat HIV/AIDS in refugees; these include the continuation and reinforcement of HIV/AIDS programmes in refugee situations and the introduction of comprehensive pilot programmes in selected sites. Lessons learned from the monitoring and evaluation of these pilot projects will be disseminated to other refugee situations.
