Dear Colleagues, Please be informed that the Global Human Rights Leadership Training Institute (GHRLTI) is now accepting applications for its Advance course on "Gender and HIV/AIDS" 4th August – 13th September 2008. COURSE DESCRIPTION The course will examine the inter-linkages between gender and HIV/AIDS, explore strategies to mainstreaming gender and HIV/AIDS at policy, programmes and implementation processes. However, there is limited gender conceptual clarity and application skills among key decision makers, practitioners, civil societies and private institutions and the inter-relationship with HIV/AIDS, policy and macro economic issues. These limitations hamper efforts geared towards making gender and HIV/AIDS cross-cutting issues in development policies, programmes and processes. In view of the above, the course on Gender and HIV/AIDS is based on the understanding that: - Gender and sexuality are significant factors in the sexual transmission of HIV and they also influence treatment, care and support. The prevention and management of the spread of HIV/AIDS is inextricably linked to achieving gender equality and women empowerment. This course has two broad aims: to empower the participants with an understanding of the link between gender and HIV/AIDS; and to equip the participants with skills and techniques for gender mainstreaming into policies and programmes related to HIV/AIDS. BENEFITS Participants in this course will have an opportunity to articulate with conceptual clarity key gender and sexuality concepts relating to policy issues ar ound HIV and AIDS interventions; adopt a conceptual framework for gender analysis on the causality of inequalities in relation to HIV/ AIDS and plan, formulate gender sensitive interventions and indicators for monitoring gender impact on HIV/ AIDS in the areas of the specific mandate; and share information and experience on gender and HIV issues within their various regions. The maximum number of course participants is 30. Students who successfully complete the course will receive a Certificate of Participation from the Institute.
