Disability and HIV/AIDS issue and policy brief released

Within two months, HEARD's Disability and HIV/AIDS Project produced an issue and policy brief. The issue brief on 'HIV, Disability and Rehabilitation' focuses on the interrelations between HIV and disability and its implications for rehabilitative services and disability support grants in resource poor settings. The policy brief on the 'National Response to Disability and HIV in eastern and southern Africa' is an analysis of the National Strategic Plans on HIV and AIDS.

It is hoped that the issue brief will raise awareness to the interrelations of disability and HIV/AIDS as well as provide a source of information for implementers. The policy brief provides recommendations for government, civil society and implementers. More information can be found in the HEARD disability resource centre at www.heard.org.za/african-leadership/disability
