Issue 02/2010 - The Umbrella: Safe from GBV and HIV - Changing the River’s Flow Newsletter, SAfAIDS

In this issue, we look at the importance of communication - and dialogues within communities that aim to break the culture of silence around HIV and GBV - to achieve change and alleviate traditional cutural practices that iipact negatively on the well-being of women and children. High levels of rape and domestic abuse are a factor in the region's HIV epidemic; women who have been physically and sexually assaulted by thier partners, as well as those who are in relationships with men who have a greater deal of control over them, are at higher risk of HIV infection.

The assessment, which used qualitative methods to collect data on various HIV and AIDS services, used literature review and consultative meetings and key informant interviews with key stakeholders and focus group discussions with users of services and their representative organisations. SAfAIDS put together technical teams in the two countries
comprised of an independent researcher, SAfAIDS staff and an in-country partner organisation identified to conduct the assessment.

Positive Transformation: Case Studies of Good Practice in HIV Interventions, SAfAIDS 2009

This document presents two case studies selected from some of SAfAIDS innovative work as a regional southern African organisation. In both case studies, it is evident that there is added value when a regional organisation works through strategic partnerships with governments and other key players in a country to implement innovative programmes; initially as pilots and then expanding and replicating in other countries. Very often, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are so involved in fire-fighting in thier own countries, it compromises the time and opportunity to learn from other countries. Regional organisations that have a helicopter view of the region, are better placed to package the necessary information, learning experiences and to facilitate thier cross-sharing across countries.
