| dc.description.abstract | This report discusses a practicum project that was focused on empowering women economically in the face of HIV/AIDS. The project was carried out in three African countries, namely Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda. Its purpose was to develop and deliver a multi-faceted, inter-generational training program designed to promote gender equality and women’s economic empowerment in the prevention of HIV/AIDS. It operated in both institutional and community settings and focused on cultural and social impacts on sexual behaviour. The project also designed and implemented an income-generating activity to create long-term sustainable income for women living with HIV/AIDS. | en_US |
