December 1, 2006:  HIV/AIDS Prevention Programme

Population Services International (PSI), a non-profit organization, established its Cambodia office in 1993. In 1994, PSI/Cambodia launched its Number One condom social marketing program to ensure access to affordable quality condoms to populations most at risk for HIV/AIDS while improving knowledge and beliefs related to safer sexual practices.

In its successful efforts to stem the epidemic, the Royal Government of Cambodia enlisted PSI/Cambodia to become a key partner in its 100% Condom Use Program to stage large entertainment-education concerts in the provinces. To further raise awareness of HIV/AIDS and Number One, PSI/Cambodia and its numerous partners have made use of large events such as the annual Water Festival, which attracts hundreds of thousands of people from the provinces who come to view the barges race along the Tonlesap Riverfront, in front of the Royal Palace.

Education and promotion through channels such as cyclo-drivers and mass media and effective coverage in higher risk establishments have contributed to Number One sales reaching 177 million units by September 2006.

These accomplishments have been made possible through the support of various donors including United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the British Department for International Development (DFID) and the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
