Networks of Accountability: HIV/AIDS Action Research in Action on Western Cape Farms
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
During 2005, Mikki van Zyl was contracted as a consultant to do action research on farm dwellers' perceptions and experiences of HIVAIDS in two districts of the Western Cape, South Africa. The research project was the first step in a provisional three-year process to develop and implement integrated strategic interventions for addressing HIVAIDS on farms through multi-stakeholder forums in the two districts. Employing a team of community researchers working in locally-run NGOs on HIV/AIDS, we used individual interviews, focus groups, case studies, researcher field notes, evaluations, and workshops for our dataset. The research process is presented as a case study, focusing on the context dynamics and challenges in conducting the research and preparing the groundwork for setting up the stakeholder forums.
