World Vision and Research Triangle Institute International are supporting a project aimed at scaling up and extending HIV-related services in three key government ministries.

The project, codenamed SPEAR (Supporting Public Sector Workplaces to Expand Action and Responses Against HIV/AIDS) has increased access and utilisation of quality HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services in the ministries of local government, internal affairs and education.

During a meeting for MPs at the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala on Friday, Rudo Kwaramba, the World Vision chief, said SPEAR had reached over 80,000 public sector workers through behaviour change programmes.

Parliament speaker Edward Ssekandi attended.
