- Description:
- This paper describes the intensifying AIDS epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa, and identifies a range of emergent needs in this connection. It examines existing social work involvement in AIDS and finds that social workers in Africa are currently considerably under utilised in this field. The paper explores potential social work roles and argues for the inclusion of AIDS issues in all social work training, and for closer coordination between medical and social aspects of care, to engage social workers and others in meeting growing needs more effectively. The author argues for the mobilisation of widespread community resourcesfor the prevention of HIV, to provide support for people with HIV or AIDS and their families, and to recognise AIDS as a critical development issue demanding an urgent response.

- Description:
- This paper examines the role communication and education can play in the crusade against the spread of AIDS in Africa. It appreciates the 'technical' nature of the information to be disseminated and recognizes the need for audience, channel and message segmentation. The paper suggests specific aspects of the AIDS problem at which communication and educational efforts should be directed. It advocates the use of multiple but mutually reinforcing channels of communication mass media and interpersonal networks. It recommends that communication and educational efforts against the spread of AIDS should be community-based, encouraging the active support, involvement and participation of local communities. Finally, the paper recognizes the need for a team-effort approach involving communicators, instructional material designers, health personnel, and the public at large.
