AB OBJECTIVE: To determine why some AIDS Care and Prevention programmes in
Southern Africa are floundering even after sending multiple participants
to our AIDS Management Training Seminars (AMTS); to assess how we could
help them. METHOD: Evaluations were conducted at participating centers
in Zambia and neighboring countries to assess the effectiveness of our
AMTS. Questionnaires were distributed to discover felt needs and
problems with programme implementation. RESULTS: 90% of the respondents
indicated the need for assistance at their locations to resolve problems
and implement projects. 80% of former AMTS participants were still
involved with programs that had not progressed past the infancy stage.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Despite the successful establishment of AIDS
Care and Prevention Programmes following participation in our AMTS,
participants encountered difficulties with program implementation and
sustainability. This expressed need can be met by offering on location
technical assistance.
