HIV/AIDS and Rural Livelihoods in Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

The 1990s have seen investment in research into the impact of the AIDS epidemic at a local level, which has included a number of studies on rural communities in developing countries, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa. Given the growing interest in this field, it is now appropriate to review and synthesize these studies and other relevant information, and to identify core sources of knowledge. This publication describes the main findings of key studies which have investigated the impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods in sub-Saharan Africa and summarizes the key issues arising from this literature
