St. Maarten HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan
HIV/AIDS is increasingly recognized as a major developmental problem in St. Maarten. As both government and various organizations seek to address its challenges, the need for coordination in coming up with a strategic plan for the island on a governmental level has been highlighted.
The uniqueness of the island being both Dutch and French, the diversity and varying levels of integration, the liberal and sexuality, the double standards and the multitude of social and economic forces at work on St. Maarten, increases the chances of a variety of HIV challenges which are already underway. These factors may represent both opportunities and challenges to a strategic approach.
Purpose and expectation of the plan:
This plan is an initiative of getting a cross section of our community involved in putting their thoughts and suggestions together to formulate a plan that can be incorporated into the National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan for 5 years. It is designed to meet the specific needs by attacking the identified situations that make people vulnerable to transmittable diseases and which have an impact on population and economy.
