A Tuition Scholarship for Community Based Prevention, Management and Treatment of HIV/AIDS

A Tuition Scholarship for Community Based Prevention, Management and Treatment of AIDS Galillee College, Israel. March 11 - 29, 2004.

This workshop recognizes the HIV/AIDS epidemic's ravaging effect on the social fabric of community life. Among countries and locales hardest hit, this includes the strain imposed upon existing health facilities, the socioeconomic upheaval created among the income-generating adult population, and, most tragically, a generation of children orphaned by the disease.

The intensive workshop will address the capacity-building requirements of community health workers entrusted with preventing, managing and treating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The epidemiological, socioeconomic and political aspects of HIV/AIDS will be explored, and the need for special community services stressed. Special focus will be placed on the planning and implementation of financially viable programs to cope with the epidemic. The Israeli model for preventing, managing and treating AIDS will be shared.

The program is designed for governmental and non-governmental (NGO)professionals responsible for community health projects to prevent, control and treat the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These professionals include policy-makers; community-health and social-work supervisors; and workers and activists in the field.

Scholarships, which will cover the tuition expenses of the program, will be granted to qualified applicants who hold a university degree and are fluent in English. Employers will be responsible only for the airfare and a local living expense fee of EUR 2,865, which covers the participant's living expenses while in Israel. Upon successful conclusion of the program a Certificate of Completion will be awarded by Galillee College.
