STRATEGIC DIRECTION

VISION

To reduce population vulnerability to HIV infection and improve the health of people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS

MISSION

To maximize information sharing, collaboration, planning and action by organizations that have the potential to reduce the vulnerability of the general population and of particular population groups in Vancouver to HIV infection, and to improve the health status of those populations infected and affected by HIV and AIDS.

In order to accomplish its mission, the Vancouver HIV/AIDS Care Co-ordinating Committee (VH/ACCC) will:

  • Foster an inter-agency environment that supports the exchange of diverse opinion
  • Identify current and emerging issues in HIV/AIDS epidemiology, research, education, prevention and care, treatment and support
  • Develop collaborative, multi-sectoral approaches to addressing these issues
  • Strengthen the capacity of the overall community and responsible authorities to respond to the changing nature of the HIV epidemic
  • Create a strategic plan every four years with the involvement of the larger community of HIV/AIDS service organizations to co-ordinate the efforts of committee members
  • Strengthen the capacity of member agencies to implement the strategic plan and to use the plan as a framework to guide their own strategic and annual service planning
  • Implement the strategic plan and monitor its progress on an ongoing basis
  • Recommend action to be taken by the Committee, member agencies, HIV/AIDS service organizations, key decision makers and the overall community
