The report documents an effort of UNDP South East Asia HIV and Development Project in collaboration of FAO and the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to mainstream HIV resilience building in the agricultural sector through an experiment called Farmer Life Schools (FLS). The FLS approach translates farmers' analytical thinking from plant ecosystem-base into analysing an individual's life as a human ecosystem - with factors that strengthen or weaken his/her resilience to adversities, which includes HIV.

This analysis is based on applications of the AIDS Impact Model (AIM). At least two alternative population projections are used for each country (Zimbabwe, Zambia, Kenya and Uganda). The first projection is hypothetical and assumes that the HIV/AIDS epidemic never existed. Each of these projectionsis designated "Without AIDS" projection, for example, Uganda-Without AIDS. The second projection for each of the four countries traces the historical development of the epidemic as closely as possible and then projects forward to 2010. …

The AIDS virus has been found in prisons in most countries of the world. This should be a source of the utmost concern -- not only for prisoners and prison staff, but for society in general.
The spread of HIV infection can be rapid in specific contexts such as poverty and social instability, war and civil strife. In situations of conflicts and war, for example, factors that encourage the spread of HIV among refugees and displaced persons include: the vulnerability to sexual abuse and violence, precocious sexual activity among young people, the occurrence of prostitution. Basic responses to prevent HIV transmission should include: access to information and condoms, screening of blood donations, provision of gloves and other supplies to ensure universal medical precautions.
