摘要

Despite the major upsurge in interest and research on the interactions between HIV/AIDS and food and nutrition security, significant gaps remain in our current state of knowledge, and guidance is needed to turn what we know into what we do. To address these linked issues, the International Food Policy Research Institute organized the International Conference on HIV/AIDS and Food and Nutrition Security: From Evidence to Action, held in April 2005 in Durban, South Africa. A diversity of stakeholders from Africa and elsewhere discussed three core sets of issues – what do we know about the interactions, how are local communities responding, and what can be done in terms of external support and interventions. The biggest challenge of all is how to act now, and act at large-scale, when much of the emerging knowledge of what is happening in affected communities is so context- specific, and not necessarily amenable to universal policy prescriptions. Ultimately, a broad consensus emerged on a threepronged strategic approach aimed at strengthening household and community resistance and resilience to HIV/AIDS; enhancing and expanding livelihood opportunities for affected communities, and ensuring appropriate safety nets for those households that require them. These three strategies should be pursued simultaneously, based on the different comparative advantages of all stakeholders from households to national governments and international agencies.
