| Notes/Abstract | The Sector Network Rural Development (SNRD) is comprised of representatives from different GTZ-supported rural development projects in Sub-Saharan Africa. A working group (WG) on HIV/AIDS and its impact on rural developmentwas formed to investigate the links between HIV/AIDS and rural development, with a view to making recommendations on how rural development projects can integrate the fight against HIV/AIDS in their range of activities. The focus should be both on reducing the spread of the epidemic, and, as far as possible, its negative impacts.
The WG on HIV/AIDS organised a workshop which brought together experiences on the integration of the subject of HIV/AIDS in RD activities, not only in GTZ supported projects, but also in projects supported by other multi-lateral and bilateral organisations, and in similar activities implemented by NGOs and government agencies. |
