African Services Committee
The African Services Committee (ASC) has over twenty years of experience providing direct health, housing, social and legal services to African born refugees and immigrants in New York City. ASC also has a history of developing successfully targeted media campaigns that highlight refugees and immigrants’ rights to supportive services and health care.
With funding from AED, ASC developed a positive media images campaign that highlighted the lives of African PLWHA. The campaign included the development of a variety of targeted media products, which included editorials, brochures, posters, press releases and Public Service Announcements (PSA). ASC also focused on encouraging the use of risk reduction strategies through the use of role-model testimonials of PLWHA.
More details on the outcomes of this project, under the first phase of the National HIV/AIDS Anti-stigma Initiative, will be posted shortly.
