HIV-AIDS

HIV-AIDS

The combined effects of HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis in Africa clearly stand in the way of social progress, slowing economic growth and development and perpetuating the vicious cycle of poverty. At the same time, wars, instability and insecurity, engendering population displacement, as well as poverty have increased the population‘s vulnerability to these diseases throughout the Great Lakes Region. The vulnerability of adolescent girls, women and young boys increased – in large part due to sexual and gender-based violence.
