The role of food and food aid in HIV prevention,

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

I am currently with Save the Children UK as the Regional HIV and RH Adviser,

South East, East Asia and Pacific Regional Office, Bangkok.

I would be very grateful for any information and experiences you might have on

the role of food and food aid in HIV prevention, Care and Support and Impact

mitigation, particularly in relation to children. While this would be greatly

appreciated from all over the world (and I am sure members from Africa will have

a lot to share and I would request them to please do so) , I would be looking

particularly for information and experiences in the context of Asia and

specifically South-East Asia.

In this regard, I would be grateful if members could send me (preferably

electronic copies) reports, studies, evaluations, briefing and position papers,

funded proposals, thoughts and experiences of the same. I would also appreciate

contact details of those whom you think might be able to inform me further about

this matter.

Information and experiences on how HIV might impact on nutrition and food

security, either directly or indirectly, would also greatly appreciated.

Further, what has been members' experiences working with multilateral and

bilateral Food Aid organisations in HIV and other similar situations?

Thank you for your assistance. I know all of you are very busy people and really

appreciate the time you take to respond to my queries.

My contact details are given below.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Sincerely,

Jo
