AIDS on the Agenda: Adapting Development and Humanitarian Pro-
grammes to Meet the Challenge of HIV
 
By Sue Holden, Honorary Research Associate of the University of 
Lancaster, England
Publisher: Oxfam GB, in association with ActionAid and Save The 
Children; 
ISBN: 0 85598 469 4; Price: £14.95; November 2003
 
This book is written for policy-makers, managers, and programme 
staff in development and humanitarian organisations, to promote 
debate about the changes that need to be made to their pro-
grammes if they are to work effectively in a world which has 
been changed for ever by the pandemic of AIDS. 
 
It is not concerned with AIDS-specific interventions such as 
home-based care, counselling and testing, condom promotion, or 
AIDS education. It is about adapting mainstream development and 
humanitarian work to create a holistic response to the impact of 
AIDS on poor and marginalised communities. It also addresses the 
need to modify internal human-resource policies to protect em-
ployees and the on-going work of any organisation operating in 
AIDS-prone contexts.
