HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Support across Faith-Based Communities

Family Health International/IMPACT and The United States Agency for International Development have produced an annotated bibliography of HIV/AIDS resources for faith-based organisations. The introduction states "the purpose of this bibliography is to describe and review resources that have proven useful to faith-based organisations addressing the HIV crisis in Africa. We hope that the information allows each reader to identify the right materials to meet his or her community's needs and then to obtain those materials from the organisation that developed them."

Two criteria were used for the selection of listed resources: "The first is that they promote dignity and respect for people living with HIV. The second is that they provide correct HIV information." The materials offer different perspectives on how to conduct HIV prevention and care and the role of faith-based organisations in addressing HIV/AIDS.The bibliography provides the reader with tools such as assessment and planning guidelines, as well as where and how to access this information. This 51 page resource is broken down by topic into these categories:

• Introduction
• Assessment and Planning
• HIV/AIDS Awareness and Information
• Behaviour Change
• Change and Support
• Guidelines & Recommendations
• Resources

This resource is funded by USAID/REDSO through FHI's Implementing AIDS Prevention and Care (IMPACT) project. The opinions presented in these materials are a reflection of individuals and organisations that reviewed them.
