UNDERSTANDING HIV AIDS IN AFRICA

The HIV Aids pandemic is one of the greatest risks the world has ever faced. The implicit consequences of the HIV Aids pandemic will require a commitment from every individual, every company, every country and every region - a strategic response, intensive planning and immediate action to minimise the impact on business, industries and economies. Entire industries and economies will be affected, and no country, business or individual will be untouched: those who are not infected will be affected.

Africa is the worst affected continent, and Sub-Saharan Africa is the worst affected region in the world, with 25 million people living with HIV. 2003 saw an estimated 3 million new HIV infections and 2.2 million AIDS-related deaths in this region. Almost 2 million children under 15 are HIV positive and there are more than 12 million Aids orphans. South Africa has the highest infection rate of any country on the entire planet.

Only now is the extent of the pandemic becoming clearer and the AIDS death toll is expected to peak in the next 10 years.

The Foundation for the Development of Africa is proud to dedicate this section of its world-rated website to this very important issue. We welcome any comments and contributions to this section – as we maintain “None of us is as good as all of us!”

"MADE IN AFRICA - FOR AFRICA"

THE FOUNDATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICA
is a private, 'not-for-profit', non-membership, organisation actively serving Africa by promoting processes conducive to sustainable development ......throughout Africa - with the emphasis on sustainability!
This organisation is currently rated as one of the most proactive Sustainable Business Development Organisations in Africa!
Serving Africa since 1999.

We are actively involved with promoting the
AFRICAN RENEWAL PROGRAMME

However -
We firmly believe that sustainable development is a process that must start from within - Africa needs to "partner" with herself first!
We also prefer the phrase: "Lets create wealth" rather than "Lets alleviate poverty"
Our initiatives include enabler 'showcasing'; networking opportunities; business opportunities; investment opportunities; promotion of special projects; dissemination of business information; joint venture initiatives and a range of value added services - all to serve
AFRICA!

We facilitate processes, including networking sessions that would lead to sustainable development, hence our motto:
"Nothing is as ‘powerful’ as the Human Network"

"Sustainable Development is the action and/or act of bringing people and/or processes into position for the effective use in the support and/or delivery of efforts, conducts and the cause!"

All our efforts are privately funded!
