Identifier : AIDSLINE ICA10/94370551
AB OBJECTIVE: To highlight the influence that violence and the issue of
current elections have on the work of NGO's and AIDS. METHOD: A review
of the health position of political parties to investigate whether the
health issues especially AIDS are appropriately addressed. An analysis
of the positions will be made and appropriate proposals forwarded
through the relevant channels. DISCUSSION: Violence impedes the work on
AIDS at grassroots level and the coming elections will compound the
situation. NGO's are concerned about the present government's view and
commitment regarding the prevention of AIDS and the funding thereof as a
national health priority. RECOMMENDATION: During the post-election era
efforts of the elected government should be focused on the prevention
and education of AIDS.
