African development action with informed and engaged societies
Soul Beat Africa
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Strategic approaches to HIV prevention and AIDS mitigation in rural communities and households in Sub-Saharan Africa

0 comments
This document aims to provide a suggested framework of action for the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nation's (FAO's) engagement in HIV/AIDS prevention and impact-mitigation in rural Sub-Saharan Africa at the community and household level. Potential activities to be undertaken in both high and low HIV/AIDS prevalence areas are described.

The activities proposed are primarily aimed at :
  1. Alleviating the impact of HIV/AIDS on agriculture, food security and people's livelihoods,
  2. Reducing the hardships with which the affected communities and households are confronted.

Finally, this paper provides the preliminary guidelines for FAO to "intensify" its action in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention and mitigation in Africa.
