Our Organisation Confidential Approach to AIDS Prevention (CAAP) is a national non-governmental
organisation based in Dhaka works to reduce vulnerability of people to HIV/AIDS.
CAAP received the mandate and technical support from the Swiss Red Cross (SRC)
to establish a model quality care, counselling and treatment centre for PLHA.
CAAP provides viable, forward-looking solutions for PLWA by providing
Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) and Voluntary Counselling and Testing for
high-risk groups. CAAP promotes behaviour change through positive living
trainings and strives to improve people’s lives on a sustainable basis.
Our core competency
CAAP’s core competency is in providing ART to the HIV/AIDS patients, and
counselling and treatment for PLHIV. Doctors trained home and abroad provide
treatment in a regular basis. CAAP also has considerable experiencing in running
specific tests including CD4 cell count through its well-equipped laboratory.
Who We Work With
CAAP is based in Dhaka with inter-district activities. It was founded in 1996
with the funding from Swiss Agency for development and Cooperation (SDC). From
2001 the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) provides technical and financial support to CAAP.
Since then the SRC has been the major funder of CAAP. To provide support to the
PLHIV CAAP is also working through a consortium of four local organisations and
receiving in kind support from the GFATM.
