AIDS impact on rural people under discussion

    JOHANNESBURG

    HIV/AIDS and the impact on Africa's rural populations is currently under discussion in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.

    The meeting was convened by the Commission on HIV/AIDS and Governance in Africa (CHGA) to exchange views with civil society organisations, and will focus on governance, food security, rural livelihoods and the pressures of the AIDS pandemic on women.

    CHGA, which includes prominent figures from the World Health Organisation, UNAIDS and the Global AIDS Fund, is expected to submit a final report to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan by June 2005.
