The failure of many African universities
to speak out and confront the HIV/AIDS crisis head-on leads
to the unraveling of hard-won development gains and
crippling prospects for future economic growth. The report,
"Challenging the Challenger: Understanding and
Expanding the Response of Universities in Africa to
HIV/AIDS," based on seven case studies (Benin, Ghana,
Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, and Zambia), seeks to
understand how the disease is affecting African universities
and to identify responses and coping mechanisms that might
profitably be shared with sister institutions in similar
circumstances. The studies show that HIV/AIDS is having a
serious impact on the fiscal situation of the universities
in much the same ways as it does on other institutions. The
disease increases operating costs, reduces productivity,
diverts resources, and threatens sources of income. The case
studies insist that committed leadership among the
university's top management is the foremost requirement
to combat this crisis. |
