Nutritional
Care and Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda
As part of FANTA's efforts to strengthen implementation of nutritional care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, FANTA provided technical assistance in the development and application of national guidelines on nutrition and HIV/AIDS. With support from the USAID Mission in Uganda, FANTA assisted regional and national groups to develop national guidelines in Uganda, Nutritional Care and Support for People Living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda: Guidelines for Service Providers. These nationally adopted guidelines provide recommendations on the nutritional needs of PLWHA and on steps that service providers can take to help PLWHA manage symptoms and improve functioning through nutrition actions. With support from FANTA and the Regional Centre for Quality of Health Care, the guidelines were produced by the Uganda Ministry of Health STD/AIDS Control Programme and the Uganda Action for Nutrition, a national nutrition coalition.
