Nutrition and HIV/AIDS: A Training Manual (2004)

To strengthen capacity to implement nutritional care and support in eastern and southern Africa, stakeholders in the region identified the need to improve the incorporation of nutrition and HIV/AIDS into pre-service training for doctors, nutritionists, and other health care workers in the region. This pre-service manual was developed in consultation with instructors from several educational institutions in the region.

The manual was intended to complement materials used in institutions of higher learning to improve the quality of training in nutrition and HIV/AIDS. It provided instructors with technical content, presentations, practical exercises, and handout materials that could be used for planning and facilitating courses and lectures. Intended users included instructors of master’s- or undergraduate-level students of medical or health sciences, applied human nutrition, dietetics or home economics, and food technology and agriculture.

This manual is a publication of the Regional Centre for Quality of Health Care (RCQHC) in Uganda, FANTA, and the LINKAGES Project. Support for the development of the manual was provided by the Regional Economic Development Services Office/East and Southern Africa (REDSO/ESA) of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations University (UNU).
