    Open AccessM Jashi, Ravi Viswanathan et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2013Cited by: 1

    In 2005, due to slow global progress in the scale-up of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and paediatric HIV programmes, the Inter-agency Task Team (IATT) on the Prevention of HIV infection among Pregnant Women, Mothers, and their Children initiated joint technical missions (JTMs) to countries of high HIV disease burden. The JTMs were intended to galvanize country actions for a more comprehensive response to PMTCT and paediatric …

  • Who is the vulnerable child? Using survey data to identify children at risk in the era of HIV and Aids

    Priscilla Atwani Akwara, Behzad Noubary et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2010

    Over the past decade, there has been increasing global attention to mitigating the impacts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on children's lives. Within this context, developing and tracking global child vulnerability indicators in relation to HIV and AIDS has been critical in terms of assessing need and monitoring progress. Although orphanhood and adult household illness (co-residence with a chronically ill or HIV-positive adult) are frequently used as m…

Recent work commissioned and completed by the Interagency Task Team (IATT) on Children and HIV/AIDS and the Join…

  • Strengthening families through early intervention in high HIV prevalence countries

    Upjeet Chandan, L M Richter et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    Families have been at the forefront of the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in high-prevalence countries. They have also borne the greatest costs associated with the epidemic, including impoverishment, which has strained their capacity to care for vulnerable members. Within this context, there is consensus that strengthening the capacity of families to care for children is one of the most important strategies for mitigating the impacts of the HI…

  • Strengthening families to support children affected by HIV and Aids

    L M Richter, Lorraine Sherr et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2009

    This paper provides an overview of the arguments for the central role of families, defined very broadly, and we emphasise the importance of efforts to strengthen families to support children affected by HIV and AIDS. We draw on work conducted in the Joint Learning Initiative on Children and AIDS's Learning Group 1: Strengthening Families, as well as published data and empirical literature to provide the rationale for family strengthening. We clos…

  • Globalization, Media, and the Teacher-Activist's Response

    Open AccessJoan Boyle, Upjeet Chandan et al.ARTICLECritical Sociology2008References: 7

    While it has become commonplace for mainstream media outlets to offer report and commentary on trends in economic globalization, it is rare for these same media outlets to exhibit self-awareness with regards to how the media has developed the forces of globalization. In this article, five academics from disparate disciplines in the humanities and social sciences address this impact, describe the negative consequences that the globalization of med…
