UNIVERSITY OF THE WITWATERSRAND, JOHANNESBURG

Programme Overview

 

R ural A IDS and D evelopment A ction R esearch programme comprises clinical and social intervention research on HIV/AIDS, with an emphasis on developing model approaches that are appropriate and relevant to the rural African context.

It is founded on the premise that the HIV epidemic is rooted in biological, behavioural and social processes - reflecting complex and dynamic relationships within countries and between them. Generating an effective response will therefore require a similar diversity of strategies at the level of individuals and populations.

RADAR is based in the Limpopo (formerly Northern) Province of South Africa at the Health Systems Development Unit. The programme is a collaboration between the School of Public Health at the University of the Witwatersrand and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
