The Care and Support Cellule (2003)
"The Senegalese national HIV/AIDS Alliance (ANCS) provides technical and financial support to organizations caring for and supporting people living with HIV/AIDS locally.

This report outlines the characteristics, strengths and positive impact of the cellule approach, as well as its weaknesses. It also provides practical steps for those wishing to establish similar associations elsewhere. It includes topics such as facilitating access to medication, and mutual support among people living with HIV/AIDS."
