Mitigation of the impact of HIV/AIDS on rural livelihoods through low-labour input agriculture and related activities

Abstract

This report attempts to provide answers to the following questions: 1. What is the evidence that HIV/AIDS has had an impact on rural livelihoods? 2. If there is an impact and what form does it take? 3. What indigenous responses are apparent in HIV/AIDS affected rural communities? 4. If \'new\' or \'appropriate\' labour economising technologies are available how probable is it that such innovations might be adopted by people in HIV/AIDS impacted communities?
