These needs are therefore reflected in the choice of Sub-committees. The Subcommittees<br />

of the NAC are Information & Communication, Legal <strong>and</strong> Ethical,<br />

<strong>Resource</strong> Mobilisation, Advocacy <strong>and</strong> International Development Partners.<br />

In addition to the Sub-committees, the National AIDS Committee decentralizes<br />

the <strong>HIV</strong>/AIDS response through the work of PAAs across the Isl<strong>and</strong>. These parish<br />

associations reflect the structure of the NAC <strong>and</strong> provide a multi - disciplinary<br />

community based response to the needs of persons infected <strong>and</strong> affected by <strong>HIV</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

AIDS. The PAAs also act as local representative bodies that inform <strong>and</strong> contribute<br />

to translating ideas <strong>and</strong> building policy enabling the work of the NAC to be<br />

more realistic.<br />

Mr. Leo Nesbeth<br />

Chairman, The National AIDS Committee (NAC)<br />
