Obstacles-local-level-AIDS-competence-rural-Zimbabwe.pdf

We explore the wider social context of an HIV-prevention programme in rural Zimbabwe. We make no comment on the programme itself, rather seeking to examine the wider community dynamics into which it was inserted, to highlight how pre-existing social dynamics may have influenced community ‘‘readiness’’ to derive optimal benefit from the intervention. Using the concept of ‘‘the AIDS competent community’’, we analysed 44 interviews and 11 focus groups with local people.
