DESCRIPTION
This manual will help field staff to mainstream HIV and
AIDS in humanitarian emergencies. It assumes some
knowledge of humanitarian programming, and is intended
to build staff skills in addressing the underlying causes of
vulnerability to HIV infection and the consequences of
HIV and AIDS, particularly in rapid-onset emergencies.
The authors draw on experience in the field and offer
practical recommendations on how to make sure that HIV
and AIDS is considered when responding to humanitarian
crises. The book explains both how HIV affects emergencies
and how emergencies affect HIV, as well as identifying the
particular needs of potential vulnerable groups. There is
guidance particularly for managers in the planning stage,
but the book also suggests how to mainstream HIV and
AIDS throughout the emergency project cycle. It includes
useful checklists and planning tools, with examples of
inductions, trainings, and awareness-raising sessions
both for staff and for community members.The CD ROM to accompany the manual features the full text of the book plus training materials for use in the field.
