The report focuses on teachers, both in their capacity as agents of HIV and AIDS education as well as a section of the population that has been shown to be vulnerable to the epidemic.
The report is a web-based desk study providing background information on HIV & AIDS and the teaching profession in 10 African countries and should be viewed as a working document in order to facilitate the development of effective mechanisms and more useful tools for dealing with the pandemic.
The countries described are selected from a list of 17 first wave target countries identified for the UNESCO Teacher Training Initiative for sub-Saharan Africa (TTISSA): Angola, Burundi, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guinea, Madagascar, Niger, Nigeria, Republic of Congo, Sierra Leone, United Republic of Tanzania and Zambia.
