After six years, the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Advancing Partners and Communities (APC) programme is coming to an end.
The project, which supported Guyana’s national HIV response through the strengthening of the institutional capacity of community-based organisations, was lauded by Minister of Public Health Volda Lawrence, who stressed that APC will be in Guyana’s public health system long after they have gone.
Throughout its existence, that programme worked closely with the Ministry of Public Health and its National AIDS Programme Secretariat, and the minister stressed that government will work to build on its successes.
