SamenvattingThe 2007 VSO-RAISA Regional Conference was held in Pretoria, South Africa. It brought together stakeholders from different sectors to create a forum for discussing innovative solutions to emerging issues affecting caregivers in community based organizations. Objectives included focusing on the challenges of care to women and children, identifying good HBC (home-based care) practices, discussing policy and legal frameworks for HBC, raising awareness of caregivers’ needs, exploring how to engage men in HBC, and establishing networks for lobbying and advocacy. The purpose of the RAISA initiative is to support existing efforts in Southern Africa to respond to the HIV & AIDS pandemic, by strengthening the capacity of civil society and government to develop and work with partners in the implementation of a sustainable and effective multi-sectoral response to HIV & AIDS. The initiative works primarily (although not exclusively) on issues of prevention, treatment, care and support, and mitigating the socioeconomic impacts of HIV & AIDS. The initiative has a particular focus on people living with HIV, orphans and other children made vulnerable by AIDS, women and girls and youth.
