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).
