Published in : 2006 Available in : English In 2003, The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) launched a joint effort to develop, through multi-site field research in refugee communities in Africa, a set of strategies for using food and nutrition-based interventions to support HIV prevention, care, treatment and support for people living with HIV. That initiative deliberately embodied a very high degree of collaboration, both among the agencies involved, but also with refugees themselves, to best capture lessons about how these sectors can be better integrated under the unique circumstances of refugee settings. This document discusses the process and findings of that initiative, whose value for best practices is found in the collaborative, field-driven methodology as well as in the findings and output.
