Looking Back, Mapping Forwards: Research Findings on Home-based Care In Zimbabwe, SAfAIDS and Health & Development Networks (HDN), November 2007
To understand more about the development of home-based care (HBC) in Zimbabwe and its future potential, Irish Aid engaged Southern Africa HIV and AIDS Information Dissemination Service (SAfAIDS) and Health & Development Networks (HDN) to assess and document lessons from HBC interventions. Since 2005, Irish Aid has supported HBC initiatives in Zimbabwe, and is currently funding 15 HBC programmes throughout the country. The current project was designed to contribute to better understanding and assist evidence-based decision-making in the implementation of HBC interventions in Zimbabwe and beyond.

Rethinking how to engage HIV and AIDS Home Based Caregivers
Mexico City, 6 August 2008, (HDN and SAfAIDS) - Home-based caregivers are the heroes of Zimbabwe's response to the devastating impacts of the HIV epidemic. They see the reality of HIV/AIDS in the community yet they strive to ensure that infected and affected people can live with hope and dignity.
Press Release: Zimbabwe Caregivers Persevere on the Front line of HIV Care
Mexico City, 6 August 2008 (HDN and SAfAIDS) - Volunteer caregivers form the backbone of AIDS care in Zimbabwe but lack access to the basic resources they need to provide care for people with HIV in the country. According to a new report released today at the International AIDS Conference in Mexico City, volunteer caregivers are the front-line of home-based care (HBC) services in Zimbabwe, especially in communities where anti-HIV drugs are not available, and urgent steps are needed to recognize and support the vital role they fill.
