HEARD - AIDS Brief - Community-Based Natural Resource Management

As part of the current USAID project "Operationalising HIV/AIDS Issues For Development", which commenced early in 1998, HEARD identified a need for a much wider, expanded and more detailed series of documents.

These were to encompass more aspects of HIV/AIDS interventions and preventions and would be targeted at specific groups. There are twenty-eight AIDS briefs in all, each written by an expert in the field, which offer sector-specific guide-lines and responses for those involved in various professional, commercial and industrial endeavours. Check-lists are a standard feature, enabling operatives to plot their progress against requirements unique to their sphere of activity, and suggesting innovative approaches.

The following professional, commercial and industrial spheres are covered in these AIDS briefs:

Civil Service; Commercial Agriculture; Donor; Financial; Construction; Education; Fisheries; Health; Informal Sector; Life Assurance Industry;
Manufacturing; Media; Military; Mining; NGOs; Oil Industry; Prisons; Social Sector; Sports; Subsistence Agriculture; Tourism; Trade Unions; Transport; Community-Based Natural Resource Management; Professional; Advertisers; Architects; Development Personnel; Health Care Workers; Human Resource Managers; Insurance Personnel; The Legal Profession; Local Government; Media Personnel; Town and Regional Planners; Politicians; Religious Leaders and Social Workers
