Synopses & Reviews
Sue Holden has adapted the text of her previous book AIDS on the Agenda to meet the needs of non-specialist staff who work with communities on the ground, and for middle managers in Human Resources departments who support program staff. As with the longer book, Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in Development and Humanitarian Programmes has two main aims: ? to show how agencies can adapt their external programs to reduce susceptibility to HIV infection and vulnerability to the impacts of AIDS; ? to demonstrate how they can modify their internal policies and systems to protect the interests of their staff and preserve the viability of their operations. The author explains the concept of mainstreaming in plain English and offers practical guidelines for implementing the approach in a wide range of contexts.
Synopsis
This book explains the concept of "mainstreaming" HIV/AIDS in simple language, with practical guidelines for applying the approach in a wide range of sectors. It is ideal for staff directly involved in development and humanitarian work, as well as managers and funding agencies.
Synopsis
AIDS has radically changed the contexts in which development and humanitarian organisations operate, and now they need to adapt their policies and practice accordingly. Sue Holden explains the concept of mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in simple language, with practical guidelines for applying the approach in a wide range of sectors.Sue Holdens previous book, AIDS on the Agenda: Adapting Development and Humanitarian Programmes to Meet the Challenge of HIV/AIDS, made the case for mainstreaming, using both theoretical discussion and experiences from the field. She has now adapted that work to produce this shorter and simpler book, to make the idea and practice of mainstreaming more accessible to those who actually do development and humanitarian work, as well as those who manage and fund it.
