Overview
A study conduced in collaboration with the HSRC to assess whether HIV/AIDS was affecting the process of land reform in South Africa
Aims
- To improve our understanding of the impact of HIV/AIDS on land-based livelihoods in South Africa, with an emphasis on the impact on the land rights that under-pin these livelihoods, and in particular to refine our methodology.
- Is HIV/AIDS affecting land use of land reform beneficiary groups?
- To what extent are the land reform benefits accruing to women, youth, and people living with disabilities adversely affected by HIV/AIDS?
- Is HIV/AIDS causing insecurity of land rights and/or outright dispossession of land?
- Who is particularly affected? What factors contribute?
- To engage with land reform groups, community groups, traditional leaders, and municipal officials regarding their analysis of, and possible solutions to, HIV/AIDS-induced threats to land-based livelihoods with a view to documenting dynamic and innovative responses;
- How do land reform groups, community groups, traditional leaders, and municipal officials understand the threat of HIV/AIDS to land-based livelihoods?
- What remedial steps or actions have they identified?
- What additional support would they need to take a more active role?
- To formulate direct, actionable measures that can be adopted by the Department of Land Affairs, the provincial Land Reform Offices and the provincial Agriculture Departments.
- How can HIV/AIDS be mainstreamed into the land reform delivery process, e.g. ‘project cycles’?
- How can land reform policy be adjusted so as to be more robust in the face of HIV/AIDS?
- What are the implications for HIV/AIDS mainstreaming and gender mainstreaming?
- How does the land policy affect the susceptibility or reinforces the resilience of land reform communities to the epidemic?
