Mongolia

In Mongolia, Pact is increasing the overall awareness of HIV through a multimedia approach and building the capacity of local organizations to provide information and services to most at-risk populations (MARPs) through a grant mechanism.

Pact produced a 26-part HIV soap opera entitled “Living under the Same Sun”. In addition to increasing awareness of HIV prevention, the educational soap opera teaches responses to such issues as stigma, HIV in the workplace, human trafficking, care and support and VCT.

Under the HIV prevention program among MARPs, Pact Mongolia works closely with the National HIV/AIDS Foundation (NAF) and provides subgrants to several CBOs and NGOs who work with MARP in Ulaanbaatar and Darkhan.
