Human resources for health exist in communities [PDF 59.09 KB]

This paper describes three examples of human resource development in community-driven HIV/AIDS programmes. This paper calls for an expanded definition of health systems that includes, values and resources the work being carried out by communities who are the frontline in responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Health care workers live in communities, and communities are providing health care: there is overlap between the two sectors and HIV care, including ARV treatment needs to exist both in communities and for health care workers. The basic proposition is that acknowledgement, inclusion of and support for community based health initiatives is necessary to understand fully where health action is occurring and where potential for expansion lies.

International AIDS Conference 2006

The theme for this year's conference is "Time to Deliver." We've come a long way in the last few decades in our understanding, attention, and efforts regarding AIDS. But for the millions of people living with AIDS today, the millions more at risk of infection, and the health of our society and our future, the time to deliver is now. One reason for urgency is that the disease trends are heading in an alarming direction. The need to focus on women and girls and the need to intensify global HIV prevention are two major focus areas identified by UNAIDS, the United Nations' lead agency in its AIDS efforts. Both efforts require increasing access to information about reproductive health and rights-and empowering people to make informed choices about marriage, children, and potentially risky behavior.

Keeping the promise: an agenda for action on women and AIDS (PDF)

UNAIDS Global Coalition on Women and AIDS, 2006. The Global Coalition on Women and AIDS was launched by UNAIDS in 2004 to respond to the increasing feminization of the HIV epidemic and a growing concern that existing AIDS strategies did not adequately address women's needs. A loose alliance of civil society groups, networks of women living with HIV and United Nations agencies, the Coalition works at global and national levels to advocate for improved AIDS programming for women and girls. It focuses on several key issues:preventing new HIV infections by improving access to reproductive health care; promoting equitable access to HIV care and treatment; ensuring universal access to education; securing women's property and inheritance rights; reducing violence against women; ensuring that women's care work is properly supported; advocating for increased research and funding for female-controlled HIV prevention methods; promoting women's leadership in the AIDS response. This publication looks at the agenda and strategies of the coalition.

Liberalization and HIV in Kerala, India

The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a good illustration of the well-established link between poverty and ill health; job insecurity can indirectly affect people's susceptibility to diseases and infections such as HIV. Working and living conditions can put people at a higher risk for disease and infection: poverty-driven sex work and migration are acknowledged socioeconomic risk factors for HIV. It is also likely that the availability of food and access to health services influence susceptibility to disease as well as the ability to cope with ill health. Without good nutrition and health care, people with HIV succumb to AIDS more quickly. In this context, this paper explores the following questions: Has structural adjustment in India, implemented since 1991, increased job insecurity and loss of livelihood in the state of Kerala? Did structural adjustment put some groups at higher risk of HIV? Did policy decisions reduce people's access to care, especially through the public health system? If so, what institutional pressures led to these changes, and how were they received? (Mini Sukumar, UNRISD, 15 April 2006)

Living well with HIV/AIDS: A manual on nutritional care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS

FAO, 2002. Few crises have affected human health and threatened national, social and economic progress in quite the way that HIV/AIDS has. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on household food security and nutrition through its effects on the availability, stability and access to food and its use for good nutrition. Meeting immediate food, nutrition and other basic needs is essential if HIV/AIDS-affected households are to live with dignity and security. Providing nutritional care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS is an important part of caring at all stages of the disease. This manual provides home care agents and local service providers with practical recommendations for a healthy and well balanced diet for people living with HIV/AIDS. It deals with common complications that people living with HIV/AIDS are experiencing at different stages of infection and helps provide local solutions that emphasize using local food resources and home-based care and support.

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS Using a Community-Led Rights-Based Approach: A Case Study of ACORD Tanzania

A HASAP Publication, August, 2003. With over 28 million people estimated to be living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa alone, the impact of HIV and AIDS on communities has been devastating. Over the last decade, ACORD, an Africa agenda-led organisation working in 18 countries in the region, has supported the efforts of people living in poor and marginalized communities to understand the roots of the problem and to find ways of preventing the further spread of the virus and mitigating its impact. ACORD recognises that the men, women and children living the day to day reality of HIV and AIDS have a lot to teach us and seeks to contribute to the global response to the HIV crisis by ensuring that their voices are heard and listened to by decision-makers at all levels. This publication is a HASAP initiative aimed at documenting and disseminating the work of ACORD in Tanzania. We hope that others, both within and outside ACORD, will benefit from the sharing of this experience and the lessons learnt.
