HIV/AIDS in the Fisheries Sector in Africa (2005)
Author: Ann Gordon
ISBN: 977-6203-01-9

'This Policy Brief provides information on the scale of HIV/AIDS in the
fisheries sector in Africa, the reasons why prevalence is so high and how
this affects fishing communities.  Access to health services and
antiretroviral therapy is then briefly reviewed, as are some of the limited
experiences directly targeting HIV/AIDS programmes to fishing communities.
The concluding discussion highlights areas where more work is needed on
policy development, action and further research'

'The International Workshop on Responding to HIV and AIDS in the Fishery
Sector in Africa was held in Lusaka, Zambia on 21-22 February 2006. Ninety
participants attended from 13 countries in Africa and from international
organizations. They represented government agencies in the fisheries and
health sectors, research institutions, and civil society organizations
active in working with fishing communities.  The purpose of the Workshop was to enable professionals and organizations working in response to HIV and AIDS in African fisheries to share experiences, appraise the efficacy of their approaches and identify actions in research and development that will further improve their impact.'
