Impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods and food security

Abstract

The central task for CHGA is to provide recommendations for African policy makers on their response to the challenges posed by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. CHGA is concerned with ensuring that findings and recommendations of the Commission should reflect the experiences of the widest possible constituency. A central plank in ensuring this is the CHGA Interactive. CHGA Interactive is driven by a series of five specifically organized sub-regional consultations or ‘public hearings’, unique for a UN Commission, on the following themes: orphans, gender, youth, treatment and care, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, human capacity, rural livelihoods, food security and nutrition.
