Community Care, Change, and Hope: Local Responses to HIV in Zambia

摘要

This case study documents a successful model for facilitating a strong community response to HIV/AIDS. The Salvation Army Change Program in Ndola and Choma Districts in Zambia illustrates the facilitation process stimulating an appropriate local response to HIV/AIDS an essential component of human capacity development. Human capacity development means developing the will, skills, capacities and systems for an effective response to HIV. The model builds on local strengths and resources, stimulating ordinary people to address the barriers that prevent them from using HIV/AIDS information and services to prevent new infections, compassionately care for those who are infected, and mitigate the effects of the epidemic on families and the community.
