In vast areas of Sub-Saharan Africa HIV/Aids threatens to destroy decades of investment in economic and social development. The AIDS epidemic is presenting particular challenges to the education sector, not least by hindering its capacity to deliver quality education for all. The human resource base is rapidly eroding, as are the number of individuals expected to seek and receive its services.
The UNESCO Office in Harare is increasing its involvement in the fight against
HIV/Aids in the region. We firmly believe in using
education as a vehicle for combating HIV/Aids while at
the same time we recognize the damaging impact of HIV/Aids
on the education system.
