In the run-up to the AIDS 2006 – “Time to Deliver” Conference which will take place in Toronto, Canada, from 13 to 18 August 2006, the TV report " Innovative approaches to AIDS prevention" presents innovative projects in the field of AIDS prevention, in India and Burkina Faso. Participants from around the globe will gather in Toronto for the conference, which will focus on the promises and progress made to scale-up AIDS treatment, care and prevention. The European Commission is a major contributor to the Global Fund against HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis. The film tells the story of two projects, both supported by the European Commission for their innovative approach to AIDS prevention: a Médecins du Monde (MdM) project in Burkina Faso, and an Oxfam project in India. In Burkina Faso, we follow the daily work of MdM educators who work with high-risk groups such as sex workers in the capital city Ouagadougou. In India, we follow Rajiv Dua, who is in charge of Oxfam projects in the fight against and prevention of AIDS in remote communities such as Bharatpur in Rajasthan. The film shows how local educators build bridges in everyday life with young people and women who are slowly becoming more open to discussion in communities where AIDS and sex education are still taboo.

It's 7am, 30 degrees Celsius. For several hours now, motorbikes have been buzzing along 00:00:00
the main roads into the capital of Burkina Faso. This is a place you need to be mobile 00:00:19
and show that you're able to get around. Something the European Union well understood when it 00:00:24
chose to finance the NGO Médecins du Monde. The funding is part of a vast programme of 00:00:28
AIDS prevention which includes European AIDS innovation projects. Here in Burkina Faso, 00:00:33
Médecins du Monde has made mobility the central theme of its AIDS prevention fieldwork. The 00:00:40
European Commission, which manages projects financed by the Union, works throughout the 00:00:47
world. It keeps an active presence on the ground in collaboration with national governments 00:00:51
and local organisations to implement its various health programmes. This is one of 00:00:57
the health care centres where mothers-to-be receive information on the virus and on ways 00:01:05
to protect their future child. 00:01:09
The carer talking to these women works for the health care system in Burkina Faso and 00:01:27
was especially trained for this project. 00:01:45
The carer talking to these women works for the health care system in Burkina Faso and 00:02:16
was especially trained for this project. 00:02:22
The Commission programmes are all about raising awareness and prevention, then testing. If 00:02:45
this woman tests positive, she'll be directed towards a higher level of health care to receive 00:03:01
antiretroviral treatment. If she doesn't want that, the woman will be able to continue her 00:03:05
pregnancy naturally in a centre like this. During the birth, she'll be given drugs free 00:03:12
of charge, which reduce the risk of transmission to the child. Usually that would be Nevirapine 00:03:19
or AZT. 00:03:24
Wagadougou, it's 11 a.m. and 40 degrees Celsius. An HIV-positive woman comes with her baby 00:03:25
daughter to the headquarters of Médecins du Monde. In this particular case, it's vital 00:03:34
to guarantee the anonymity of the patient for her own safety within her family. It's 00:03:39
been explained to this woman that to reduce the risk of infecting her baby, she shouldn't 00:03:45
breastfeed her daughter. 00:03:48
This mother will receive special feeding kits until her baby is 18 months old, and at 18 00:03:57
months, the child could also be tested. An important part of this project is that even 00:04:02
the carer should remain anonymous to ensure the patient is not rejected by relatives. 00:04:07
On the move again, the mobile units weave through the Wagadougou traffic to go out 00:04:37
to meet people at risk, and that includes bar girls, women who have several regular 00:04:48
partners who support them. 00:04:54
The day after the information session and distribution of condoms, the mobile unit returns 00:05:07
to the same place. This time, it's discreetly parked in a small road behind the bar. Just 00:05:12
as discreetly, women are given advice sessions, and men who want to be tested go to the vehicle 00:05:17
one by one. 00:05:22
Similar sessions with sex workers have already shown very encouraging results. The rate 00:05:53
of infection in Burkina Faso has gone down from 6% in 2001 to 2% today, a good reason 00:05:59
for the EU to continue its work. 00:06:08
Wagadougou, it's 3pm and 42 degrees Celsius. The European Commission has been supporting 00:06:14
the NGO Mets Saint-Dumont for a year now. The result is that two new mobile units have 00:06:20
been kitted out. But more importantly, the prevention, testing and follow-up campaigns 00:06:26
in Wagadougou have now been extended to two other towns, Banfoura and Pau. 00:06:30
Delhi, it's 7am and 30 degrees Celsius. The sixth largest metropolis in the world is waking 00:06:42
up, and some of its 15 million people are out in the streets. For this country with 00:06:53
a population of more than a billion, this is the AIDS situation. 00:06:58
In India, an estimated 0.9% of adults are infected with HIV, but the distribution is 00:07:03
uneven and the rate is higher in six states in the south and the northeast. 00:07:09
Yellow marks the areas moderately affected, and the green in the northwest and north shows 00:07:16
the regions only slightly affected. Even though development and health indicators are lowest 00:07:21
in this area, and people also migrate south from here for work and then return, but a 00:07:27
project co-financed by the European Union has helped to prevent the much greater spread 00:07:32
of infection here. To see what's being done, we went to Bharatpur, 200 kilometres south 00:07:37
of Delhi, one hour by road from the Taj Mahal. We've come to see the fieldwork supported 00:07:43
by the European Union and carried out on the ground by Oxfam. There's no logo or flag the 00:07:47
NGO has had to remain discreet to be able to integrate. 00:07:53
We are heading towards one of the places within the district which has a large Islamic community. 00:07:55
The indicators of health are extremely low over here because of a very conservative attitude. 00:08:03
Women do not tend to access health services, and women would normally go and seek the help 00:08:09
of the maulvis and imams, so they would not even access modern health systems. 00:08:16
Satwar's village, Rajasthan, it's 10 o'clock and 38 degrees. Education is the programme's 00:08:22
central plank, but to be able to talk about sex and AIDS prevention in a village like 00:08:27
this, Oxfam must use slightly roundabout tactics. 00:08:30
There are many such slogans in the village. You will find them at every point. And, for 00:08:33
example, this one says that Sat and Oxfam have decided to fight HIV AIDS in this region. 00:08:38
As well as the slogans, there's also a youth resource centre, a kind of school where practical 00:08:45
everyday life skills are taught and where young people can simply meet up and talk. 00:08:51
Some young people, aged between 13 and 25, are trained in AIDS prevention and to become 00:08:58
peer educators. 00:09:03
This is a peer education meeting. Two young men encourage other people of their own age 00:09:29
to take a look at the Oxfam information kit. 00:09:41
The strategy is similar for the girls, but in more difficult conditions than for the 00:09:59
young men. Teachers like Najima are trained by the local partners of the EU programme. 00:10:15
Their work is not limited to information sessions, because the teachers become a kind of permanent 00:10:23
point of contact for all the questions on sex and AIDS the young women in the community 00:10:27
may have. 00:10:32
It's a long haul, because first it's necessary to convince their parents before being able 00:10:48
to talk to the young women. Today that's been done, and the message is getting through. 00:10:52
The European Union, as I've been always saying and repeating, has a lot of emphasis on rights-based 00:10:57
approach, and that's exactly what you see as a result of a rights-based approach, is 00:11:04
that young women are talking and accessing health services. They are talking about that. 00:11:08
