Abstract
Burkina Faso has the second highest
HIV/AIDS infection rates in West Africa, with an overall HIV
prevalence rate of around 7.2 percent. A large number of
development agencies are active in the fight against
HIV/AIDS. An innovative community driven scheme to the
epidemic was piloted under a recently completed Bank project
and is now being replicated under a follow up HIV/AIDS
Disaster Response Project. This brief describes the design
of this pilot scheme both in terms of process and content;
presents preliminary results; and identifies key lessons and
future challenges.
