AB OBJECTIVE: To identify the capacity of Goba Households in Rural Zambia
to cope with three critical events, namely: the death of a young adult
family member from AIDS, a dysentery epidemic, and on-going draught.
METHOD: Case study research. Selection of seven typical Goba households,
according to a predetermined criteria derived from aquantitative
socio-economic survey. A series of indepth semi-structured interviews
with two members of each households over a period of five months.
RESULTS: How households coped depended on personality, plural economic
activities, a strong matriniality, varied treatment options, and the
existence of an intergenerational household. DISCUSSION: The limitations
of rural household capacity in the face of the AIDS pandemic, and, the
components of capacity that could be promoted in further AIDS
interventions are indicated by this indepth study of Goba households. It
would seem that the more capable household are to care for PWA, the more
likely they are to suffer an erosion of coping capacity.
