EIA to address HIV/AIDS

Thursday, May 05, 2011

Environment Impact Assessments (EIA) will be expected to address HIV/AIDS and gender issues in the future after the National AIDS Coordinating Agency (NACA), together with other SADC countries complete an ongoing project that intends on finding ways of integrating these issues into the EIA.

Programme planning manager at NACA, Lillian Moremi, has said that NACA, together with the Department of Energy Affairs, Ministry of Health, Labour and Home Affairs, stakeholders and partners have already started meeting in efforts to mainstream aspects of gender and HIV/AIDS into the production of EIAs for development projects in the country.

This is part of a regional initiative involving Lesotho, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Rwanda.
