ETU is an organization that has been supported by the Palme Centre for the last five years to take up the fight against HIV/AIDS in South Africa. ETU has helped more than half the municipalities in South Africa to develop coordinated local responses to AIDS. The organization conducts it´s work according to the idea that AIDS can only be combated effectively if the following key things are coordinated and delivered at local level:
• Effective education, prevention and condom distribution programmes
• Awareness and de-stigmatisation programmes
• Testing and counselling
• Treatment, anti-retroviral and nutrition programmes
• Emotional support, wellness programmes and organisations for people affected
• Care for vulnerable children and support for their care givers
