Project Concern International (PCI) and partners hosted the Africa Forum
from May 8 - 12, 2006, in Lusaka, Zambia. The Forum, entitled Food Security
and HIV/AIDS: An Integrated Response to the Dual Epidemics of Hunger and
HIV/AIDS in Africa, provided an excellent opportunity for local NGOs and
international public health and development organizations to share
experiences in integrating HIV/AIDS, food security, and nutrition
programming. The Forum provided opportunities to strengthen collective
efforts, as well as to inform policy decisions based on ‘frontline‘
realities.
