Description:
Foreword:
"HIV and AIDS have various implications on the life of individuals, families, communities
and societies. HIV and AIDS are not ?merely? a health but also a development issue
as they reduce chances for development and increase poverty. People living with HIV,
households headed by women, elderly or orphans often have barriers to perform
like others not affected by HIV and AIDS. Therefore they need specific attention and
tailor-made responses in the different development sectors focusing on their needs,
abilities and skills.
One of the main pillars of Misereor?s work and its partners? in different countries
in Africa, Asia and Latin America is the reduction of poverty and assistance of the
poor and the marginalized. Misereor and its partners have to take HIV and AIDS into
account in development projects.
This document was conducted as a desk study for the revision of the Misereor guide
?Responding to HIV and AIDS – A practitioner?s guide to mainstreaming in development
projects? (published 2010). It provides useful information and practical examples of
such responses in the fields of agriculture, rural development, self-help and social
protection. It aims to invite Misereor partners and others working in these fields to
reflect on their current approaches and to encourage them to respond in their core
business to the challenges brought by HIV and AIDS."
