Erosion of human resources capacity is likely to disrupt project operations and delay implementation. Staff may be unable to address technical issues related to HIV/AIDS. | Capacity-development efforts in all project activities are intensified.Additional staff are trained, task-sharing among staff is introduced, contingencies in project budgets are increased, administrative procedures are adjusted.Project staff and staff of partner agencies are trained so that they can address the implications of HIV/AIDS for their work. | IFAD project managers participate in a training programme on how to address the impact of HIV/AIDS at the project management level. | (d) Diminished relevance of project objectives, strategies and activities | HIV/AIDS can compromise the achievement of targets set for a project.Project activities may inadvertently contribute to the spread of the epidemic. | HIV/AIDS is taken into account when analysing a project and when setting project objectives.IFAD project coordinators are made aware of the relevance of HIV/AIDS to their work and trained to integrate response measures. | Representatives of HIV/AIDS control programmes or NGOs working on HIV/AIDS are invited to project planning workshops.Terms of reference for project review and evaluation missions address HIV/AIDS issues. |

FAC’s mandate to include AIDS projects in Africa and Asia. One of the board members
Education of HIV/AIDS is very important to help prevent from becoming infected with this deadly disease. There are many factors that are being looked at that may be associated with the affect of the transmission of HIV such as, gender relationships, social exclusion and poverty, etc. These issues happen every day and health care providers must help those infected with HIV/AIDS to start treatment right away (Mayo Group, 2010). A national health policy must formulate different guidelines what will enable the policy to help the government govern the public. This stage is really important to help bring health care policies together.
An important point, the continuing public health threat of HIV/AIDS is multi-dimensional; thus, not resolvable by an individual organization. Hence, the reason collaborative bonds are crucial. Ending HIV/AIDS requires the efforts of the federal, state and local governments, state health departments, community organizations, primary care providers, linkage to testing, treatment, and
Joekes, E., & … Spittal, P. M. (2015) The Cedar Project: resilience in the face of HIV
In the early 1980s, with the discovery of a new infection primarily targeting the gay community, the BESTD Clinic in Milwaukee formed a special project called MAP or Milwaukee AIDS Project to address the crisis. The disease became more of a threat and the community needed more support. A new task force was created by combining the MAP directors, BESTD Clinic President and a few others to form the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin. Over time the organization continued to grow and has become Wisconsin’s largest and fastest growing HIV health care system. “Through its integrated medical, dental and mental health clinics along with pharmacy and dedicated social services that include, food pantries, legal programs and social work case management, more than 3,300 HIV patients in Wisconsin gain the health care and social services they need for long term survival with HIV disease.” (ARCW) Some of the material I found in the archives about the ARCW was their 2007-2011 Strategic Plan. It is an outline of how they plan to achieve their vision which is a “world without AIDS and to ensure that everyone with HIV disease will live a long and healthy life”. Within the plan there is six goals and under each goal there are
Additional forces that were mentioned in the case study included creating social change throughout not only in regards to the HIV/AIDS virus, but also within the populations that are more at risk. The main social problem that is initially presented in
Just as clearly, experience shows that the right approaches, applied quickly enough with courage and resolve, can and do result in lower HIV infection rates and less suffering for those affected by the epidemic. An ever-growing AIDS epidemic is not inevitable; yet, unless action against the epidemic is scaled up drastically, the damage already done will seem minor compared with what lies ahead. This may sound dramatic, but it is hard to play down the effects of a disease that stands to kill more than half of the young adults in the countries where it has its firmest hold—most of them before they finish the work of caring for their children or providing for their elderly parents. Already, 18.8 million people around the world have died of AIDS, 3.8 million of them children. Nearly twice that many—34.3 million—are now living with HIV, the virus [9].
In the year 2000, the UN established eight ‘international development goals’ regarding: poverty, education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, HIV and other diseases, environmental sustainability and global partnership. (Nations, n.d.). For this paper, the HIV pandemic shall be analysed. The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is the virus that serves as root for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome or AIDS which is a disease that compromises the human immune system supressing it and leaving the body open for other diseases and
In prioritizing for HIV component, a national dialogue was conducted to determine what approach the geographical targeting would adopt for the NFM application. As such, the following was conducted:
It is to this purpose that the National AIDS Council (NAC) was created in order (1) to Coordinate and support the development of policies, plans and strategies for HIV/AIDS prevention; (2) monitor and evaluate the AIDS response; (3) provide recommendation to the MoH and the country in general on suitable and evidence-based prevention, treatment and coordination strategies; and (4) facilitate the reduction of the impacts of the epidemic (nac.org.zm, 2016)..
Analyze environment in terms of aids and barriers to goals and objectives: Concerning aids, we have many
It is important that while stagnation in resource flows would reverse the gains made to date, a decline in resource flows would lead to a 2030 HIV scenario that is worse than the current status (Ombam- head of strategy NACC, 2014). Clearly the government and other stakeholders like NACC must continue to explore innovative ways of financing the control of HIV/ AIDS. One of these ways was the establishment of the Health Sector Services Fund.
The program’s purpose is “to reduce vulnerability to HIV and its impact in China through preventing further HIV infection; expanding care and support; reducing stigma and discrimination; and strengthening RCSC capacities to deliver and sustain scaled-up HIV programmes” (IFRC, 2007). The project will launch a national education campaign to reduce stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS. In consequence, the initiative would involve teachers in schools and health service workers to disseminate accurate information, media marketers to communicate to the masses, and public cooperation.
Despite the fact that the Implementation of the above mentioned guidelines contributed in reducing the number of HIV infected children, the country has not yet reached its goal of eliminating HIV
HIV is one of the diseases on which a lot of research has already been conducted, but, still scientists are working on this to get the best solution for the treatment. Hence, there are many procedures already available to deal with this disease, but not satisfactory, due to which further research is required in this context. Every country is facing the deaths of its people due to this disease, and have its own ratio of deaths, according to the treatment procedures available for the disease. The death rate of people is not only dependent on the bad treatment procedures and facilities, it is also because, some countries have more AIDS cases than others, and do not have control over the symptoms causing the disease more. A lot of countries took the initiative with UN and UNAIDS developed and contributed to
