Q. What role do NOGs play in AIDS control ?
Ans. NGOs have an important and very special role to play. The close interpersonal interaction that NGOs have with people in the communities they work in is extremely usefid for implementing the behavioural interventions necessary for HIV/AIDS prevention and care. NGOs are also not under the same political constraints as government programmes are. They therefore have greater flexibility and the capacity to accommodate changing programmes and public heeds and can innovate and implement new initiatives more easily.
