Summary: This report charts the educational responses to HIV and AIDS in 18 countries across Asia, Africa and Latin America.
In 2004, education coalitions and HIV/AIDS coalitions came together to discuss their Ministry of Education’s responses, as well as their own. Although varied, certain conclusions resonate across all the countries: - governments are turning a blind eye to the educational needs of orphans and HIV positive students - insufficient action is being taken to prevent the potential impact of HIV/AIDS on teachers - donor funding is being directed towards a series of stand-alone initiatives that enjoy little ownership by government - too much government and donor money is being spent on poorly designed interventions that go unimplemented because the most basic foundations – resources, ownership, training, even basic data – have not been put in place first.
