BNYC launch youth month against AIDs

Government in 1997 designated March as the month in which young people, in collaboration with various partners and stakeholders, hold HIV and AIDS sensitisation, community mobilisation and advocacy campaigns throughout the country.  This year's campaign theme is 'Committed to Zero Transmission Lifestyles; Youth Leading by Keeping the Promise to Stop AIDS'. It was drawn from the World AIDS Day theme of 'Stop AIDS, Keep the Promise', which runs for five years.

The National AIDS Coordinating Agency (NACA) has commited funds amounting to over P800,000 for BNYC to embark in maturing and enforcing its campaign strategy to cover most of the villages in the country. The youth organisation in the past has not been able to cover most parts of the country with their campaigns due to lack of funds.
