Furthermore, FBOs Leadership has a strong influence over the lives of masses of their congregants as well as having a special recognition on State in Lesotho thus give a strong confidence to bank on in the fight against HIV and AIDS.  Leadership of FBOs have been long involved in advocating for policy change to create an enabling environment within the communities to adopt and promote sustainable beliefs, attitudes and behaviours for prevention.  There is evidence that in Countries that have turned the HIV epidemic around, the FBOs have in particular played a significant role in the success.  They are strategically placed to access the communities anywhere even in the remotest locations of the vulnerable, marginalized communities that are far from accessing services in the highland districts like Mokhotlong, Thaba-Tseka, Qacha’s Nek, Botha-Bothe and Quthing districts. LIRAC also has strong collaboration with bodies such as Christian Council of Lesotho (CCL) in areas where LIRAC membership is not so strong and active.

Existing BCC strategies and frameworks do not integrate values of faiths to which young people and adults associate themselves with. Therefore, lack of combination approaches as such have not resulted in positive behaviours.  LIRAC affiliates are implementing HIV programs within their settings that focus on providing information, risk reduction and behavior change communication and also establish linkages to relevant services, where communities have no understanding of vulnerable groups like children and women’s rights, to fight against Gender Based Violence (GBV), restorative justice and other relevant frameworks.
