AB OBJECTIVE: To document the effectiveness and relevance of Danchurchaid's
(DCA, a Danish church-affiliated NGO) involvement in AIDS sector support
1987-1992. METHODS: The 8 major grassroots AIDS projects supported by
DCA in Malawi, Lesotho, Tanzania, Thailand and Uganda were subject for
study. A combination of document reviews, observations and interviews
with staff, collaborating partners and ultimate beneficiaries was
applied. Data were analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS: The strategies
supported were: A. Ensuring safe blood supply, B. Protecting health
staff, C. Protecting the public, D. Care of patients in hospital and
home, E. Supporting survivors, F. Community support and development, G.
Developing culture specific interventions, H. Monitoring the epidemic.
Most emphasis had been placed on A, B, C, D, and H. The strategies were
considered to have been relevant & appropriate for the time and local
situations. However, in 1992, the HIV/AIDS situation had worsened, other
sources of assistance and more knowledge and experience with AIDS
prevention and control had become available, and the vertical approach
was no longer considered relevant. CONCLUSION: A change towards a
comprehensive community development approach is recommended with most
emphasis on strategies C-G.
