Foreword
This report provides an
overview of the presentations and discussions at the UNDP South East
Asia HIV and Development Programme and CICRED joint workshop on
interrelations between development, spatial mobility and HIV/AIDS.
The workshop was organized by the UNDP South East Asia HIV and
Development Programme and the Committee for International
Cooperation in National Research in Demography (CICRED). It was
attended by participants from countries in Africa. Asia. Europe and
North America. They represented academia. non-governmental
organizations and development programmes concerned with HIV/AIDS
issues and social development. Participants and observers were from
Mali. South Africa. India. Pakistan. Thailand and Viet Nam in Asia:
France. Italy and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland in Europe; Canada and the United States of America in North
America; Mexico in Central America; and Australia in Oceania as well
as UNESCO. WFP and FAO.
The objective of the workshop was to produce a better understanding
of the complex and little-understood and not-often-studied
interrelationships between development and HIV/AIDS by sharing data
and information on mobility systems obtained by researchers from
institutions in both the 'North' and the 'South'.
The workshop brought together a wide range of researchers on
demography, anthropology and development related to spatial mobility
as well as practitioners dealing with HIV/AIDS in order to increase
the collaboration between the research community and HIV programme
practitioners.
We hope this compilation of selected research papers will stimulate
decision makers, donors and programme practitioners to strengthen
research support on development and spatial mobility for effective
HIV responses.
