HIV/AIDS and Food Insecurity in Southern
Africa
Southern Africa is facing a serious humanitarian crisis with severe long-term
consequences affecting the entire region. Erratic rainfall, poor governance,
poverty, unsustainable debt, failing agricultural policies, unfair international
trade regimes, and collapsing public services have all contributed to the current
situation, but without HIV/AIDS the crisis would not be of the same dimensions.

Mainstreaming
HIV and AIDS into Development: What it can look like (PDF 157KB)
This paper offers pragmatic guidance on three aspects of mainstreaming: HIV and AIDS
iN the workplace, mainstreaming HIV and AIDS into strategy and planning, and making
links with focused interventions in HIV and AIDS. It is useful to all organisations

Access
to antiretroviral therapy in Uganda (PDF 691KB)
Recent (2002) research estimates place the number of HIV-infected Ugandans
at between 1.5 and 2 million. While access to antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) has
increased, the great majority of HIV-infected Ugandans still cannot afford
to pay for therapy.
Global
HIV/AIDS and the Health Fund: Foundation for Action or Fig Leaf? (PDF 325
KB)
If properly funded and managed, the Global Fund could act as a vitally needed
catalyst to spearhead renewed efforts to tackle the devastating global health
crisis and to spur governments – at national and international level – to do
much more to prioritise and deliver on the internationally agreed health targets.
Without proper funding and international commitment, the Fund could serve merely
as another exercise in window-dressing while the health crisis deepens.
