What is the ACET International Alliance?
ACET International Alliance is an international network
of independent organisations committed to developing a Christian
response to AIDS, with administrative bases in both Delhi and London.
ACET International Alliance grew out of the work of
an organization called AIDS Care Education and Training (ACET) which
was started in June 1988 by Dr Patrick Dixon in the UK with support
from World in Need. The name "ACET" is pronounced "ASSET".
Today ACET International Alliance has partners in
Uganda, England, Ireland, Scotland, Thailand, India, Czech Republic,
Slovakia and important working relationships in many other nations.
Here are some (not in order or size nor significance):
ACET England

ACET Uganda

ACET Jersey
For a complete ACET-related list of projects in Europe,
Africa, , Asia and elsewhere,
see the ACET
International website. The "reach" is wide -
for example ACET Uganda has key relationships with projects in ten
other African nations including Mozambique, Chad, Ethiopia, Sudan,
Kenya, South Africa, Zambia,Tanzania and Burundi: AIDS programmes
that have received technical support, advice or other assistance
and with whom their is an ongoing relationship. ACET Slovakia has
developed a national sexual
health syllabus and has trained teachers across the country.
ACET Czech Republic has taught over 450,000 pupils face to face.
ACET England has given out 1.3 million booklets in schools.
Partners of ACET International Alliance are responsible
for running the Alliance, for introducing Members, and electing
other Partners. The ACET International Alliance is not a funding
agency, but significant resources are channelled as circumstances
allow from Partner to Partner or from Partners to Members, along
lines of close working relationships and trust.
Partners are well-established projects with a significant
or dominant HIV / AIDS work, with a track record of excellence,
and a commitment to be a resource in various ways to projects outside
their own area or nation.
Indeed the whole spirit of the ACET International
Alliance is mutual support and co-operation to save the maximum
amount of lives from AIDS and to care for as many as we can who
are affected.
With over 1 in 200 of the entire world's adults already
carrying HIV, and with rapidly accelerating spread in many of the
poorest nations, it is urgent to mobilise entire communities and
nations in the fight against AIDS. This is the purpose of
the ACET International ALliance: to be a motivator, a catalyst
for change, not only delivering through partners and members vitally
needed AIDS programmes, but also encouraging a global people-movement
to rise up and do the same.
The ACET International Alliance has been modelled
closely on CANA (Christian AIDS National Alliance) in India, which
itself is an ACET International Partner, and has over 300 members,
representing some 25,000 community care workers involved in some
way with HIV / AIDS prevention and care.
ACET International ALliance AIDS programmes are funded
by many different agencies including UNAIDS, UNICEF, Tear Fund,
Christian AID.
Free copies of latest edition of "AIDS
and You" paperback books are available for organisations
working in the poorest nations - while stocks last - from ACET
