study focuses on Malawi as a representative
case bringing together existing, fragmented, knowledge to
arrive at a comprehensive picture of the consequence
of HIV/AIDS on livelihoods, the economy and poverty reduction.

upon both qualitative and quanitative data. PDF
The pupose of this study is twofold:
i)
to improve our understanding of the consequences of HIV/AIDS
on the economy, livelihoods and poverty of Malawi specifically
with a view to guide policy.
ii)To use Malawi as a case study for drawing more general
conclusions on the consequence of HIV/AIDS on the economy
and on poverty that may have a bearing on other countries
in the region.
Key Conclusions include:
HIV/AIDS and poverty are mutually reinforcing
HIV/AIDS has a severe impact on agriculture and
food security
HIV/AIDS is very much a gender issue
