dc.description.abstractThe project investigated social factors and livelihood strategies that contribute to resilience in relation to HIV/AIDS and food insecurity. Study sites include a cassava-based subsistence farming system; a maize-based subsistence farming system; and a tobacco commercial farming system. At the time of this presentation (2005) it is estimated that 10 people die every hour in Malawi due to HIV/AIDS -240 die every day. The most productive age group (especially women) are affected, as the household ability to produce food is curtailed. Recommendations include that Government/NGOs provide agricultural credit and extension services to affected families who are land constrained.en
