Isandla Institute invites you to participate in a stakeholder dialogue on HIV/AIDS and Sustainable Human Settlements. The focus will be on recently completed research by Isandla Institute that looks at the link between HIV/AIDS and human settlement planning, development and implementation. This research culminated in a concept paper as well as a resource guide with practical suggestions for those involved in the planning and implementation of sustainable human settlements
The resource guide locates a developmental perspective on HIV/AIDS within the context of housing and human settlements development. It explains the ways in which human living environments have implications for the spread and management of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, as well as how HIV/AIDS affects many of the underlying assumptions and practical considerations involved in the development of sustainable human settlements. The document also provides practical guidelines on what integrating HIV/AIDS means for the
day-to-day work of various actors involved in human settlements development processes.
Inputs will be made by Rodney Harber and Nigel Tapela (tbc)
Date: Wednesday, 30 July 2008
Time: 9am to 11.30am
Venue: To be confirmed
RSVP: By Wednesday, 23 July 2008 with Letitia Manter on admin@isandla.org.za
In preparation for the discussion it would be useful if you could familiarise yourself with the content of the guide.

HIV AIDS is really a very scary disease. until now, there is no know cure or vaccine for it. the only we can prevent it is through safe sex.
