A study of local government HIV/AIDS projects in South Africa
Authors:Leon Swartz, Niel RouxAbstract:The primary goal of this study was to survey local government HIV/AIDS projects in South Africa.A total of 240 questionnaires were sent to local municipalities nationally between May and July 2002.A total of 44 municipalities returned their questionnaires, covering 53 projects. Most projects focused on prevention and awareness and the majority had awareness/prevention/information as part of their objectives as well as their activities. Home/community-based care was also prominent. It seems that in the future the focus of programme development will shift in this direction. Major constraints were a lack of funds, transport and trained personnel. Future emphasis must thus be put on these components. In addition government needs to put more resources into local government HIV/AIDS programmes since this tier will be the nodal point for national combatting of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
