HIV/AIDS NGO/CBO support toolkit

A collection of practical HIV/AIDS manuals

The HIV/AIDS NGO/CBO Support Toolkit is an electronic library of resources about NGO/CBO support that have been collated by the Alliance from a wide range of organisations, based on the understanding that there are many viable approaches to NGO/CBO support provision. These resources are accessible on CD-ROM as well as on the website.

The HIV/AIDS NGO/CBO Support Toolkit brings together resources for people who are establishing, managing or studying such HIV/AIDS NGO/CBO support programmes or systems. While the toolkit is primarily designed for programmes or systems that aim to deliver both funding and technical support to local NGOs and CBOs, many of its resources will also be of interest to organisations that provide only funding, or only training.

The toolkit systematically addresses a wide range of themes related to NGO/CBO support provision – for example, situation assessments, monitoring and evaluation, technical support and grant provision. In addition to some 350 resources that can be accessed, each theme and its sub-themes have an introduction which highlight key issues to consider for NGO/CBO support provision. A publication, with all 69 introductions can be ordered by clicking on the Order CD-Rom and resources button.[author]

Young women aged 15 to 24 years in sub-Saharan Africa continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV.

Averting ‘New Variant Famine’ in Southern Africa: building food-secure rural livelihoods with AIDS-affected young people
N. Ansell / Department for International Development, UK, 2009
Southern Africa is experiencing the world’s highest HIV prevalence rates alongside recurrent food crises. This has prompted scholars to hypothesise a 'New Variant Famine' in which inability to access food is driven by the effects of AIDS. In line with this, it has been suggested that the impacts of AIDS on young people today is likely to diminish their prospects of food security in adult life.
