Taking up ideas, suggestions and comments forwarded to us, we would now like to suggest the following objective(s) for the workshop:
Overall objective:
Initiating a process of analysing success stories and defining future actions for the Mitigation of HIV/AIDS-Impacts through Agriculture and Rural Development.
To achieve this objective, the following targets/tasks are to be fulfilled:
-
Summarising the impact of HIV/AIDS on farm/households and communities and the theoretical recommendations/concepts for mitigation (setting the frame for mitigation) (Day 1)
-
Sharing knowledge and experiences on evidence based successes and problems of HIV/AIDS mitigation work in rural areas (reasons, gaps) (Day 1)
-
Analysing the lessons learnt and developing recommendations for best practises and instruments/guidelines for replication (group) (Day 2)
Key issues: e.g. labour saving technologies, etc.
Key levels of mitigation interventions
-
Practices/technologies at farm/household level
-
Community based approaches (responses by communities)
-
Institutional level: Service delivery arrangements (e.g approaches by extension services, markets, etc.)
-
Policy level, approaches for strategy development
(structure for group work according to key levels)
-
Initiating of and committing to future action plans (fields for further research, programme proposals, networking, broader stakeholder involvement (e.g. conferences)) (Day 3)
We welcome confirmation of participation, but ask for your understanding when we limit the workshop size to around 30 participants.
We are also open to further comments, hints and suggestions and particularly invite offers on case study presentations – but only of tested evidence! - and appreciate thus the submission of an one-page outline for easier selection.
