Abstract:

The Toolkit was developed to assist Local Government in South Africa to define their role in the Partnership Against AIDS and to initiate their responses to the epidemic. The Toolkit was developed following interviews with key stakeholders from business, unions, NGOs and with Local and Provincial Government officials in KwaZulu-Natal. The interviews focused on the role of Local Government in general and in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic; and what Local Government would need in terms of resources, partnerships and technical assistance to mount effective responses to HIV/AIDS.
