IFPRI. AIDS, poverty, and hunger:
challenges and responses. Washington, DC, International Food and Policy Research
Institute, 2005.
This complete document presents the highlights of the international
conference on HIV/AIDS and food and nutrition security that took place in
April 2005 in Durban. It proposes a wide approach to food security and poverty
reduction in the context of HIV/AIDS. The document describes the interactions
between poverty, food and nutrition security and the risk of being infected
with HIV. Some chapters focus on policy and programme responses to these
interactions, whereas others examine both interactions and responses. With the
conference and this document IFPRI wishes to bring researchers and
practitioners together to review the existing evidence and its implications
for future food- and nutrition-relevant policies and to highlight remaining
knowledge gaps. This book aims to serve as a benchmark and a resource for
researchers, policymakers, and practitioners who fight the combined threats of
AIDS, poverty, and hunger.

This document presents a summary of the meeting that took place in Durban,
April 2005. The conference included participants of 20 countries in eastern
and southern Africa and others from organizations in the United Nations
system, bilateral agencies, regional groups, nongovernmental organisations,
academia and other bodies. The document provides the participants’ statement
on nutrition and HIV/AIDS in Africa. After a review of present scientific
evidence and a disscussion on the programmatic experience in nutrition and
HIV/AIDS, the participants proposed conclusions on different topics such as:
macronutrients, micronutrients, pregnancy and lactation, growth, and infant
and young child feeding. It ends with recommendations for action, and stresses
that nutrition be an integral part of the response to HIV/AIDS in Africa.
