| description |
Most African countries have ratified the
African Charter on Human and People's Rights, which
states the rights to health, education, and promoting,
safeguarding, and reinforcing mutual respect and tolerance.
In Sub-Saharan Africa alone, some 17.2 million have died of
HIV/AIDS. The focus here is, therefore, on how traditional
healers and indigenous knowledge can empower communities to
deal with the social consequences of the pandemic, and, at
the same time, be able to ensure that government resources
are actually being used to their benefit. This Notes
suggests a mini epidemiological study be undertaken by
community member and for the community. The process of
community-managed research could be facilitated by
traditional healers, local NGOs to balance any attempt by
local elites to dominate the process. |
