Paediatric AIDS Treatment for Africa (PATA) and Positive Action Children Fund have launched the Clinic-Community Based Organization Collaboration (C³) Programme. C³ Programme is aiming at promoting, facilitating and strengthening collaboration between paediatric HIV clinics and community-based organisations (CBOs) for improved access to high-quality holistic care for HIV-infected children, their families and communities.
