A. BACKGROUND

The Education and Training Unit (ETU) was approached by the Amajuba District Municipality to facilitate the development of an HIV/AIDS strategic plan for the municipality.

Local government is ideally placed to facilitate greater co-ordination at local level, to ensure that the council, councillors, different government services, NGOs and community all work together to effectively address such issues as public education, care for people living with AIDS and care for AIDS orphans.
