Description
The HIV/AIDS epidemic in Uganda has had far reaching consequences not only for individuals, families and communities, but also for the country as a whole. In the education sector, the epidemic has emerged as a major threat to achieving Education for All (EFA) goals. The national success in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Uganda has been attributed to good and committed leadership, open policies and sustained advocacy. Policy confers legitimacy, sets priorities and goals and establishes accountability for the different partners operating in the area.
