Supporting HIV-Positive Teachers in East and Southern Africa: Technical Consultation Report (UNESCO and EI-EFAIDS, 2007)

UNESCO and partners in the EI–EFAIDS programme – Education International (EI), Education Development Center (EDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) – are pleased to announce the release of the publication Supporting HIV-Positive Teachers in East and Southern Africa: Technical Consultation Report.

Supporting HIV-Positive Teachers in East and Southern Africa: Technical Consultation Report (UNESCO and EI-EFAIDS, 2007)

The report summarises the key points and recommendations that emerged over the course of the technical consultation co-organized by UNESCO and EI-EFAIDS on 30 November to 1 December in Nairobi, Kenya, to commemorate World AIDS Day 2006. The consultation was framed within the goals of Education for All (EFA) in recognition that the EFA goals will remain unattainable if the impact of HIV and AIDS on the education sector is not adequately addressed.

The technical consultation brought together a range of different stakeholders including ministries of education, teachers’ unions and HIV-positive teachers’ networks from six countries in East and Southern Africa – the two regions in the world which are the most highly affected by HIV and AIDS – namely Kenya, Namibia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. The participants reviewed actions at global, country and community levels, examined barriers and success factors to responding to the needs of HIV-positive teachers, and made recommendations on how challenges can be overcome.
