 AB    OBJECTIVES: Ensure that NGOs fully understand the negative impact of
       HIV/AIDS on community development efforts so as to stimulate them to
       include AIDS activities in their community development programs.
       METHODS: Organisation of a workshop with the theme, NGOs and the
       Campaign Against AIDS in Burkina Faso. RESULTS: 56 NGOs participated.
       Discussions focused on the following themes: Role of NGOs in the
       campaign against AIDS; How to ensure for the care of AIDS victims; What
       should be the key messages concerning AIDS in rural areas; What should
       be the key research topics concerning AIDS in rural areas. A
       coordinating body of NGOs interested in enlisting in the AIDS campaign
       was created; all participating NGOs joined. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS:
       NGOs with their long and rich experience of working with rural
       populations are very well-placed to play a major role in the campaign
       against AIDS in rural areas.
