Welcome to the Portal of the PANCAP Regional Stigma and Discrimination Project.
The goal of the portal is to contribute effectively to the dissemination, uptake and adoption of proven or emerging best practice strategies in community-based stigma reduction and human rights action around the Caribbean and Latin American region;
The portal is a platform that exist beyond the project period (2009 to 2012) for sharing current issues and evidence on the regional HIV related stigma, discrimination and human rights environment; for sharing tools, handbooks, BCC and campaign materials for application within community-led or youth led strategies; and for promoting dialogue around key findings of regional research studies and assessments.
Since it's inception, the project received its core funding from the UK Department for International Development (DfID), UKAID. The Project portfolio fell within the remit of PANCAP Project coordination Unit (PCU) portfolio to tackle stigma and discrimination. The 27-month project was overseen and managed by Associates for International Development.
The project enhanced the capacity of PANCAP to address S&D in its target countries by promoting community leadership, visible action by duty bearers. and empowerment of marginalised groups. The project also fostered vertical and horizontal partnerships required to support community led anti-stigma action. Other outputs included the production of capacity building materials and evidence-bases through research, increased advocacy action and human rights-based approaches to stigma reduction, meaningful involvement of the most marginalised groups and increased capability of community based organisations to undertake community research and diagnoses and own the resulting action.
