While fighting AIDS and promoting universal education have long been important development priorities, the recent spread of the epidemic in Africa and elsewhere has made the relationship between AIDS and education delivery critical to the success of both efforts. Not only is the scourge of AIDS spreading – every minute, someone somewhere becomes newly infected with HIV; two-thirds of those people are in sub-Saharan Africa – but AIDS is now severely damaging an institution critical to preventing its spread: the schools.
Roundtables in this series aim to bring the AIDS and education advocacy communities together to discuss their shared challenges with senior policy makers and top experts and identify best practices for addressing them.
