Livelihoods and HIV/AIDS. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, April 2009, Pages: 104
This study looks at the impact of HIV/AIDS on rural
households in Zimbabwe. A case study of Nhamoinesu
village situated in Zaka,Masvingo province in
Zimbabwe is adopted for the study.The study seeks to
explore and examine how rural agricultural
households are impacted and respond to the
challenges brought about by HIV/AIDS.Attention is
given to institutional frameworks for HIV/AIDS
interventions at district and village level. A
second objective of the study is whether
interventions are appropriately aligned and
responsive to household livelihoods'
strategies.Findings of the research show that the
current practice of targeting people within defined
risk groups by age and prioritizing interests of the
most common economically active people between aged
15 and 49 years overlooks the fact that the
elderly , the very young and women are among the
worst affected within communities. The study also
shows that most HIV infected and affected
respondents in Nhamoinesu are struggling to survive
and some dissolving completely.
