Deadly inertia: a cross-country study of educational responses to HIV/AIDS


What have been the responses to the HIV and AIDS crisis by Ministries of Education worldwide?

Produced by: ActionAid / Global Campaign for Education (GCE) , 2005

This report analyses responses to the HIV and AIDS crisis, both by Ministries of Education and civil society groups working on education, in 18 countries across Asia, Latin America and Africa. It attempts to answer the following three questions:
  • What progress have Ministries of Education made in responding to the epidemic?
  • How have civil society organisations working on education responded to the epidemic?
  • How can the educational response to HIV and AIDS be strengthened and galvanised?

The report is split into three chapters. The first chapter describes why educators need to start taking HIV and AIDS seriously; the second gives an overview of policy and programmatic responses to HIV and AIDS; and the third chapter discusses partnerships between NGOs and Ministries of Education.
