Unravelling
the Dynamics of HIV/AIDS-related Stigma and Discrimination: The Role of
Community-based Research (2004)
This ACORD publication
documents research that explores both the causes and effects of HIV/AIDS-related
stigma and discrimination in Northern Uganda and Burundi. The research,
which was carried out by ACORD programmes in collaboration with local
communities, has provided stark and disturbing evidence of the systematic
abuse and scandalous violation of the rights of PHLAs and their families
and carers in both countries. The research process that was coordinated
by ACORD in both countries has helped to raise awareness of the issue
within the community and prompted a strong response among community members
and the local leadership. The research has highlighted the critical importance
of participatory community-based research in catalysing local level action
and has underscored the need for a comprehensive response to address this
complex issue. This must include, but not be limited to the adoption of
legislation to establish and protect the rights of PLHA and be backed
up by a wide range of other measures, including the provision of accurate,
unbiased information and a radical rethink of the design and delivery
of humanitarian programmes targeting PLHAs.
The publication, currently
available in English, will soon be available in French and Portuguese
as well. To order hard copies, contact: Angelah@acord.org.uk
Mainstreaming
HIV/AIDS using a community-led rights-based approach - A
CASE STUDY OF ACORD TANZANIA
English
| French
|
Portuguese
This case study illustrates the critical role of
communities in mainstreaming and enhancing HIV/AIDS competence. It describes
how the process of community led-change facilitated by ACORD in NW Tanzania
has helped to: enhance the status of women and PLHAS and increase their
participation in decision-making processes; reduce the incidence of sexual
abuse and violence; improve the delivery of health services; increase
the level of transparency and responsiveness on the part of local government
structures; strengthen partnerships between government agencies and communities;
and create lesson-learning and experience-sharing opportunities through
networking. Key guiding principles applied include: promoting the participation
of all members of communities; recognising the role of partnerships and
networks; paying attention to internal structures; and using a rights-based
approach based on promoting accountability, empowerment and participation.
