Beschreibung:

Compared to other forms of orphanhood, AIDS orphanhood is very unique. It is characterised by unique challenges, coping mechanisms and responses. Unfortunately, in addressing the plight of AIDS orphaned children, the dependency syndrome of extrapolating findings from studies done in HICs to the region irrespective of contextual relevance has limited success (White and Robinson, 2000). Aware of this, this book addresses this concern by providing contextually relevant information on AIDS orphanhood challenges, coping, institutional responses in place and the measures that should be put in place to effectively address the plight of CHHA. Having no better country to ground context relevance of CHHA and AIDS orphanhood issues in SSA, their global epicentre, a study whose findings form the core of this book was conducted in Uganda, a former epicentre of HIV/AIDS and a world model in the battle against HIV/AIDS. The book is a resource for Scholars, policy makers, practitioners, the CSOs and Inter-Governmental organisations and programmes in the areas of HIV/AIDS, orphanhood and CHHA.
