HIV/AIDS has had significant geographic impacts across local, national, and international scales in South Africa. At the local level, the disease has disproportionately affected the poor and black populations due to factors like poverty, lack of education, and sexual violence. Nationally, South Africa has seen its life expectancy drop dramatically and around 10% of its population is HIV positive, putting strain on healthcare resources. Internationally, HIV/AIDS has reduced life expectancy in many African countries and is now the fourth leading cause of death globally, with an estimated 36 million people infected worldwide mostly in developing areas.
Eradication of Malaria from Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka has made extraordinary progress in eliminating malaria, reducing cases from over 500,000 in the early 20th century to just 17 reported cases in 2015. However, malaria elimination faces ongoing challenges, as imported malaria from travelers and migrants is increasing. Sustaining malaria elimination requires continued vigilance, such as ensuring all cases are properly treated according to guidelines, conducting case investigation and response, and preparedness for potential outbreaks. Cooperation with neighboring countries is also important to address the ongoing risk of imported malaria hampering elimination efforts.
Aids
AIDS is the advanced stage of HIV infection where the immune system is weakened, making one susceptible to infections and conditions like cancer. More than 25 million people have died from AIDS in Africa, where over 2/3 of AIDS deaths occur. Africa is likely where HIV first transferred to humans. The AIDS epidemic has reduced life expectancy in Africa by 20 years and orphaned 12 million children. One cause of AIDS in Africa is lower status of women preventing negotiation of condom use or fidelity. There are organizations that help raise money for treatment and prevention campaigns, such as PEPFAR.
Somalia Pandemic Preparedness Evaluation
Somalia is not well prepared for a disease outbreak such as Ebola based on several factors:
1) The country has a lack of suitable health education and promotion as well as poor data collection and health infrastructure.
2) High rates of malnutrition and disease have weakened the population's immune systems, increasing their susceptibility to illness.
3) There is limited access to healthcare and a lack of awareness around infectious diseases, which could facilitate the rapid spread of an outbreak with few resources available to properly respond. Somalia would require immediate assistance and resources from international organizations to have a chance of containing an outbreak.
Hiv
1) Sub-Saharan Africa experienced rapid population growth from independence in the 1960s until the late 1980s, but many countries began seeing a fall in birth rates due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
2) HIV is a virus that causes AIDS which weakens the immune system and is transmitted through blood, contaminated needles, and unprotected sex.
3) Factors like poverty, low education levels, gender inequality, mobility, and poor healthcare systems encouraged the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in 22.4 million people living with HIV in 2008 and 1.4 million deaths that year.
The Effects Of Aids On Swaziland
Swaziland has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the world at 26.1% of adults. As a result, life expectancy has dropped to only 31.88 years and there are over 70,000 orphaned children. The spread of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland is largely driven by polygamy and cultural stigma surrounding HIV status, which prevents many from getting tested or disclosing their status. The government has tried to address the epidemic through prevention programs, testing initiatives, and behavior change campaigns, but Swaziland remains the worst affected country.

Bb ventures powerpoint
The document discusses Bill Gates, the WHO, and malaria. It notes that Bill Gates formed the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to enhance healthcare and reduce poverty, donating over $42 billion. The WHO aims to achieve the highest level of health globally and coordinates health efforts in the UN. Malaria has affected humans for centuries and remains a global health issue, though the Gates Foundation prioritizes malaria elimination and has donated $2 billion towards combating it. The WHO also works on malaria control and tracking cases.
Honors Thesis
This document discusses women's disparities in access to HIV mitigation in three sub-Saharan African countries - Swaziland, Kenya, and Cameroon. It hypothesizes that women with higher levels of education will have greater access to HIV prevention and treatment services. The analysis found a strong correlation between increased educational attainment and HIV testing and access to test results for women in the three countries. However, overall testing rates remain low, likely due to social stigma rather than lack of accessibility. Women face greater HIV risk due to cultural practices like polygamy, child marriage, and lack of autonomy over sexual and reproductive health decisions.
Human geo final project

It then discusses how the epidemic originated in Africa in the 1930s likely from monkeys/apes and spread. Today, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for most HIV/AIDS cases and deaths. The epidemic has now spread globally with an estimated 34 million people living with HIV/AIDS in 2011. In the US, the first AIDS cases were reported in 1981 and has since caused over 500,000 deaths. Certain urban areas and populations like gay/bisexual men have been most severely affected. In conclusion, HIV/AIDS disproportionately impacts low/middle-income countries and regions where it originated like sub

It then discusses how the epidemic originated in Africa in the 1930s likely from monkeys/apes and spread. Today, sub-Saharan Africa accounts for most HIV/AIDS cases and deaths. The epidemic has become global with an estimated 34 million people living with HIV/AIDS in 2011. In America, the first cases were reported in 1981 and has since caused over 500,000 deaths, with the most cases in urban, impoverished areas and among gay/bisexual men across all races. In conclusion, most HIV cases are in low/middle-income countries with inadequate healthcare and education,
Women and HIV
The document discusses how HIV/AIDS disproportionately affects women and girls globally. It outlines that nearly half of all HIV cases worldwide are among women, and young women ages 15-24 are most at risk. Factors like gender inequality, lack of education, poverty, and violence against women increase women's vulnerability to infection. Effective prevention requires empowering women through education, access to healthcare and protection methods, and eliminating discrimination.
Eight millennium goals
The document summarizes the Eight Millennium Goals related to reducing child mortality, specifically Goal 4 and its targets. It discusses the leading causes of child death, which include pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS, and undernutrition. Undernutrition is an underlying cause in over half of child deaths each year. The conclusion calls for governments to strengthen health systems and access to medical supplies and interventions. It also calls for donors to increase financial commitments to child survival programs to achieve Millennium Development Goal 4.

Eric Benjamin submitted his final project on malaria in Nigeria to Walden University. The 3 sentence summary is:
The project focused on malaria in Nigeria, where it is a major public health problem, with an estimated 100 million cases and 300,000 deaths per year. Malaria disproportionately affects children under 5 and the poor, and factors like poverty, lack of education, and cultural beliefs contribute to the high burden. Nigeria has implemented strategies like insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying, as well as policies to improve prevention, treatment, and the public health system's response to malaria.
Silence no more m. pala
Marama Pala Ngātiawa ki Kapiti, Kaiwhakahaere/Executive Director (INA), an HIV positive Māori woman, plans to promote the visibility of Indigenous People’s HIV and AIDS issues; to increase the support from local, regional and international Indigenous people.
“History shows us that HIV is not openly discussed at Indigenous conferences. It’s an issue that gets left off the agenda.” says Marama Pala, “Even though Indigenous Peoples experience high rates of HIV and AIDS, it needs to be made visible at all Indigenous conferences and gatherings. It’s time that all Indigenous peoples became aware that we are a marginalised community vulnerable to HIV”
Indigenous people globally continue to under represented in HIV prevention, research, policy and funding initiatives, and this contributes to ongoing HIV disparities and resource allocation. The stigma within Indigenous communities further marginalises this health issue, making it difficult to discuss.
“I hope am able to stress the importance of HIV, speaking openly about HIV and facing the stigma of HIV with my Indigenous and aboriginal brothers and sisters” urges Marama. “Silence No More...for the sake of my HIV negative children; we need to eliminate stigma and discrimination and make our people safe.”
Aids1
The document discusses the global distribution and effects of AIDS. It notes that there are 42 million people worldwide living with HIV/AIDS, with 70% residing in sub-Saharan Africa. AIDS has already killed more than 14 million people in the region. The disease has more than doubled the death rate for people aged 15-34 in South Africa. Botswana's population structure is also expected to change dramatically in 20 years due to the high HIV prevalence rate of nearly 39% of the population. Lost income and medical costs from HIV/AIDS can have devastating economic impacts on families, especially when the main breadwinner is affected. Uganda has seen some success in reducing infections through aggressive public information campaigns.

Under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), United Nations (UN) Member States reported
progress on the targets toward their general citizenry. This focus repeatedly excluded marginalized ethnic and
linguistic minorities, including people of refugee backgrounds and other vulnerable non-nationals that resided
within a States’ borders. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to be truly transformative by being made
operational in all countries, and applied to all, nationals and non-nationals alike. Global migration and its diffuse
impact has intensified due to escalating conflicts and the growing violence in war-torn Syria, as well as in many
countries in Africa and in Central America. This massive migration and the thousands of refugees crossing borders
in search for safety led to the creation of two-tiered, ad hoc, refugee health care systems that have added to the
sidelining of non-nationals in MDG-reporting frameworks.
ABC Communicabledisease
The document discusses communicable diseases and human security. It provides an overview of communicable diseases, outlining their importance and selected diseases of public health concern such as tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and avian influenza. It discusses the global response required, including approaches such as public health interventions, regulations, and partnerships. The World Bank plays a role in mounting a global response by collaborating with other organizations as part of global health partnerships.
Communicabledisease
This document provides an overview of communicable diseases and their impact on human security. It defines communicable diseases as conditions transmitted directly or indirectly from infected people or animals. Selected diseases discussed include tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and avian influenza. These diseases place a significant burden on low and middle income countries and can have social, economic, and security impacts. Approaches to control discussed include personal responsibility, public health interventions, regulations and laws, and partnerships. Effective response requires a global approach as communicable diseases respect no borders in an increasingly interconnected world.
Disease impact on human populations ppt
Human populations are impacted by infectious diseases that spread due to various factors such as demographics, human behavior, international travel, land use, infrastructure, migration, and urbanization. Developing countries are most affected, with death rates from infectious diseases almost 14 times higher in low-income countries. Emerging diseases originating in wildlife pose a growing threat and have increased in recent years. Infectious diseases can significantly alter the age structure of affected populations. The Philippines faces threats from diseases like Henipavirus, West Nile fever, MERS, hantavirus, and avian flu, and responds through surveillance, prevention and control programs, infrastructure development, and research.
Tuberculosis (jren goh, juan carlos, naufal zubair, ryan grosse)
Tuberculosis is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, infecting over 10 million people and killing 1.8 million in 2015. Diagnosing TB remains challenging with current methods missing many cases. The Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) was established in 2003 by the World Health Organization to develop and deliver new diagnostic tests for TB and other poverty-related diseases. While progress has been made in reducing TB, continued funding shortfalls threaten to undermine control of the disease.
Social, environmental factors seen behind Africa’s low COVID-19 cases
COVID-19 transmission in Africa has been marked by relatively fewer infections, which have been on the decline over the past two months, owing to a variety of socio-ecological factors as well as early and strong public health measures taken by governments across the region.
Hiv
HIV compromises the immune system, leading to AIDS. Early HIV symptoms include fever and swollen glands. Late stage AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, and infections. HIV is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like during unprotected sex or sharing needles. Prevention methods include condoms, needle exchange programs, and avoiding contact with infected fluids. Currently over 33 million people have HIV/AIDS globally, with most cases in sub-Saharan Africa.

Innovation in Agriculture and NRM in Communities Confronting HIV/AIDSSchool Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
This document reviews international experience on the role of agriculture and natural resource management in preventing and alleviating HIV/AIDS. It discusses how rural livelihoods dependent on agriculture and NRM can influence the spread of HIV infection and how HIV/AIDS in turn undermines these livelihoods. Local innovations that have helped address HIV/AIDS are described. The review outlines key features of HIV/AIDS epidemics and their relationship to rural livelihoods. Food insecurity can increase risky sexual behaviors and susceptibility to infection, while illness and death from AIDS undermines households' agriculture and natural resource management. Local innovations play a role in addressing HIV/AIDS but often face constraints.Addressing Neglected Parasitic Diseases: Moving towards the development agend...

All you need to know about risk factors
This document provides information on occupational risk factors. It begins with definitions of hazard, which is anything that can cause harm, and risk, which considers the probability and severity of harm from a hazard. It then discusses different categories of risk factors including physical risks from mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, and biological sources. Specific mechanical risks discussed include cuts, shearing, stabbing, penetrating trauma, noise, and vibrations. Electrical risks include shock, burns, and arc flash hazards. Thermal risks include heat and cold stress. The document aims to identify major occupational risk factors and their characteristics.
Hiv causes
HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated needles, blood transfusions, and childbirth. In Southern Africa, economic factors like poverty and lack of education, sociocultural factors like polygamy and harmful myths, and demographic factors like population growth and polygamy have contributed to the spread of HIV. Past political failures to address HIV in South Africa also exacerbated the epidemic, though current leaders are pursuing prevention and affordable treatment options. Overall, Africa has suffered greatly from HIV due to economic difficulties following colonization that have led to widespread poverty and lack of education.

HIV AIDS - Risk factor, Clinical feature & Complication
HIV can be transmitted sexually, through blood or blood products, or from mother to child. It progresses through acute infection, asymptomatic latency, and AIDS if untreated. Complications include opportunistic infections like tuberculosis, cancers like Kaposi's sarcoma, neurological issues, and wasting syndrome due to immune system damage. Common infections are candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. Cancers include Kaposi's sarcoma and lymphomas. Other complications are wasting syndrome, neurological symptoms, and kidney disease like HIVAN.
A basic understanding of HIV surveillance
HIV surveillance involves systematically collecting and analyzing HIV/AIDS data to guide prevention and treatment programs. Key aspects of HIV surveillance include monitoring prevalence, incidence, opportunistic infections, and antiretroviral drug resistance. Accurate case definitions and timely reporting are important for effective surveillance. The goals of HIV surveillance are to detect trends in the epidemic, identify at-risk groups, evaluate prevention programs, and inform research and policy.
Hiv, Aids, & Your Immune System, Sped 554
The document discusses the immune system and how HIV affects it. It explains that the immune system uses white blood cells like phagocytes and lymphocytes to protect the body. HIV is a virus that attacks helper T cells, which are important for the immune system. HIV uses T cells to replicate and eventually overwhelms the immune system, leading to AIDS. It can be transmitted through activities like unsafe sex and sharing needles. Getting tested and practicing safe sex or abstinence can help prevent the spread of HIV.
Hiv aidS
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, including what it is, how it is transmitted, symptoms, and prevention. It explains that HIV weakens the immune system, leading to AIDS. HIV is found in certain bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. The main ways of transmission are through unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing needles, or from an infected mother to her baby during pregnancy or childbirth. Prevention methods include safe sex practices like condom use and getting tested.

The document discusses the impact of HIV/AIDS in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania based on a survey of over 1,000 respondents. Key findings include: over 60% of respondents reported knowledge of Tanzanian HIV/AIDS prevention programs; 92% thought sex education should be provided to children before they become sexually active; and 74% believed HIV/AIDS leads to children becoming orphans. While 53% saw HIV/AIDS patients as a financial burden, many felt the infected should not be ashamed or expelled from communities. The study highlights impacts on health, education, agriculture, and children and calls for improved prevention efforts, sex education in schools, and amendments to marriage age laws.
Recent advance in hiv treatment 1
This document provides an overview of recent advances in HIV/AIDS treatment. It discusses how combination antiretroviral therapy pills have simplified treatment regimens. New drug classes such as entry inhibitors and integrase inhibitors have been developed that target different parts of the viral lifecycle. Studies have also shown benefits of starting antiretroviral treatment earlier, even before symptoms develop. Vaccine research continues in an effort to develop a preventive vaccine, with some studies showing a limited level of effectiveness.
Hiv aids in india
This document summarizes the status of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in India. Some key points:
- India has an estimated 2.4 million people living with HIV, with prevalence highest in the southern and northeastern states.
- The epidemic is concentrated among high-risk groups like sex workers, clients of sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injection drug users.
- Unsafe sex, lack of condom use, and injection drug use fuel transmission. Migration and the low status of women also increase vulnerability.
- The national response involves targeted interventions for high-risk groups, care/treatment, and prevention education through NACP programs.

reader-on-microfinanceandhiv
This document provides an overview of how microfinance services can help address the economic impacts of HIV/AIDS. It discusses how HIV/AIDS affects households economically, forcing them to utilize coping strategies like taking children out of school, selling assets, or taking on debt. Microfinance can help strengthen households' ability to manage risks and losses by helping them generate income, build savings, and avoid selling productive assets. While microfinance should not explicitly target HIV-positive individuals, targeting areas with high HIV prevalence can help the families and communities impacted. The document argues microfinance has a comparative advantage over other interventions in mitigating HIV/AIDS' economic effects through increasing income, providing secure savings, and reducing vulnerability.
FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO AND PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HIVAIDS IN T.docx
FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO AND PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HIV/AIDS IN THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICA
Disparities in the Global North and Global South are reflected in the socio-economic and political positions of these two respective regions in the world. This gap is also best exemplified by the disparities in healthcare systems, education, and prevalence of diseases between these two regions. The Global North, which is comprised of advanced countries like the United States has a robust healthcare system and an educated mass. This in turn plays a significant role in reducing the rate of infectious diseases. Contrary, the Global South, comprised of many poor and conflicting countries has problems of high rate of diseases such as HIV/AIDS. What are the primary factors that contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS? What preventative measures work best in halting the rapid spread of this virus? This paper will briefly analyze these questions and more with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS in the Global North and Global South.
This paper assumes that the Global North and the Global South are considerably different in their social, cultural, political, and economic make-up. However, since this paper is a brief analysis, which aims to compare this disparity and its effects on health, it will proceed by using the United States (Global North) and South Africa (Global South) as representative samples for these regions respectively. The United States, with a population of approximately 320 million is regarded as the vanguard of the developed world, if not the world in general. A hub of diversity and immigrants from all over the world, America is perceived as a rich country of opportunities. South Africa, on the other hand, is a relatively small country with a population of roughly 53 million. It is considered to be the political and economic leader and one of the success stories of sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, its wealth and socio-political maturity is by no means comparable to that of the United States.
The World Health Organization defines HIV as a virus that targets and weakens an individual’s immune system (immunodeficiency) thus making the infected individual susceptible to other infections. (WHO Cite) HIV becomes AIDS only when an infected individual contracts other infections. In advanced countries such as the U.S, Canada, and their likes, HIV infected individuals are able to live longer due to readily available retroviral drugs. On the other hand, underdeveloped or developing countries suffer high rates of mortality due to lack of medication in rural areas and at times urban areas alike. From this reality, it can be highlighted that economically advanced countries are better equipped to diagnose, treat, and perhaps prevent and deter infectious diseases compared to their economically dependent counterparts.
Data from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that nearly 1.2 Americans are carriers of the HIV virus. (CDC CITE2)) However, the ...

The Hiv Aid
This document provides an overview of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on several East African countries. It discusses how HIV/AIDS spreads primarily through sexual transmission and mother-to-child transmission. Prevalence rates in urban areas of the featured countries range from 10-40%. The epidemic is having a large impact on youth populations, who make up 20-30% of people in East/Southern Africa. There is a need for more effective evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention programs targeting youth.

Male circumcision should be promoted in developing countries as a major means of HIV prevention according to studies showing it reduces HIV infection risk by 50%. However, male circumcision programs require consideration of social, cultural and religious factors. Neonatal circumcision performed in health facilities by trained professionals seems to be a safer and more cost-effective approach, but resources, willingness, and integration with other prevention strategies must be considered.

Like HIV, gender-based violence (GBV) has implications for almost every aspect of health and development. This guide serves as a tool for program managers to not only begin to address GBV within their programs, but also to plan for greater integration and coordination within country teams when designing workplans and budgets.
The guide is divided into several smaller parts. We strongly recommend reviewing all parts of the guide in order to take advantage of the full range of opportunities to address GBV and to achieve the goal of greater linkages between HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support.

This document examines the correlates of poverty in Africa using multivariate models and data from 43 African countries from 1980 to 2011. While Africa has experienced high economic growth in recent years, poverty remains widespread and inequality is high, indicating a lack of inclusive development. The study aims to identify factors that influence poverty to help design policies promoting inclusive growth. Key findings suggest that higher inequality, population growth, inflation, and primary education alone increase poverty, while higher GDP, secondary education, and foreign aid decrease poverty in Africa.

Introduction to the Problem
Introduction to the Problem
Problem to be addressed. The first cases of AIDS in the United States were reported in New Yolk City and Los Angeles in 1981, but since then the epicenter of the country's HIV epidemic has shifted to the District of Columbia and the 16 states that make up the South, from urban centers. Today, the South is the most affected region and carries the greatest burden of HIV illnesses, deaths, and infection than any other region in the U.S, Rosenberg et al. (2015) reports.
Problem subtopic. Southern states alone account for 44 percent of all individuals infected with HIV in the U.S; surprisingly the region has approximately one-third of the overall population in the U.S. Southern states experience internal disparities due to their geographical position. The majority of people living with HIV live in urban areas just like the rest of the nation, Abara et al. (2015).
Possible Causes and Maintaining Forces
Cause. Unique socioeconomic factors in the South are the primary cause of the heavy burden of HIV. Poverty, poorer health facilities, income inequality, have been more prevalent in the Southern states than the rest of the country. These conditions are not unique to HIV and, overall, the populations in the region have long experienced poorer health outcomes. Among the health challenges are higher rates of diabetes, cancer, obesity as well as infant mortality compared to other areas, Hall et al. (2015) highlight.
Cause. Cultural factors and social barriers also contribute to worsening HIV infection in the South of the United States. Issues such as transphobia, homophobia, racism as well as a lack of openness in discussing sexuality in public are more common in the South, and they result in higher levels of stigma, limiting people's willingness to look for HIV testing, prevention, and care services. The challenges also restrict access to sexual health information which is critical to enable individuals to protect themselves from infection, according to Reif et al. (2015). Many people in South America are fearful or ignorant of HIV. Transgender women and men who have sex with men face high levels of discrimination and stigma putting them at risk of homicide and crimes. Since 2008, about 1,200 transgender individuals have been killed in South America. Furthermore, 44-70 percent of transgender women have expressed the need to relocate or were thrown out of their homes (Skarbinski et al., 2015).
Why the problem persists. The South experiences higher HIV diagnosis rates in rural and suburban areas that other regions countrywide. In this case, there are various drawbacks to HIV prevention efforts in this area, Abara et al. (2015) comments.
Why the problem persists. Compared to other regions, many Southerners living with HIV are not awar ...
Core gender info_note_en
The document discusses the importance of addressing gender equality in Global Fund proposals and responses to HIV, TB, and malaria. It notes that women often have less access to health services and information than men due to social and economic inequalities. It provides examples of how diseases like HIV, malaria, and TB disproportionately impact women. The document advises applicants to involve gender experts and conduct a gender analysis to ensure their proposals address the specific needs of women, men, girls and boys. It also recommends integrating gender-sensitive and transformative interventions that promote human rights and reduce health inequalities.
Why advocacymatters
The document discusses the advocacy achievements of the Bridging the Gaps global partners from 2011-2014. It describes the program's establishment in 2011 with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to achieve universal access to HIV services for key populations. Through the efforts of global and local partner organizations, nearly 700,000 people received HIV services, over 200 organizations engaged in human rights advocacy, and key population services were integrated into nearly 100 health facilities. The document provides details on the program's approach and a theory of change to guide advocacy work.

Inclusive sustainable development gender and climate change8 (2)
The document discusses inclusive sustainable development and accounting for gender in climate policy. It notes that development cannot be achieved if half the population is left out. Gender equality is key to effective development. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in terms of livelihood security, social security, and physical security. Mainstreaming gender in climate policies and programs is important but implementation is lacking. More balanced investment is needed between mitigation and adaptation in climate finance to help vulnerable groups cope with climate risks. Stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring quality and accountability in climate actions and finance.

Evaluating the impact of HIV/AIDS from the local to international levels
Within South Africa, HIV/AIDS prevalence is more than 18% in two of its districts and more than 14% nationally. It is a major cause of death in South Africa, where life expectancy has dropped from 64 years to 56 years from 1990 to 2017 due to HIV/AIDS. The epidemic heavily affects other countries in southern Africa as well. UNAIDS data shows that HIV prevalence in South Africa has stabilized in recent years after a major decline, but the disease continues to have significant economic and social impacts.
