Foreign Aid and Donor Support: An Assessment of Current Campaigns against the Spread of HIV and AIDS in Botswana By: Elizabeth Wagstaffe Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts at the University of Colorado Departmental Honors in Anthropology Advisor: Dr. J. Terrence McCabe Thesis Committee: Dr. Douglas Bamforth and Dr. Angela Thieman Dino December 2011 | Page 1 ABSTRACT The following study seeks to address the current complexities and relationships between donor funding and program structure within the context of HIV and AIDS in Botswana. The study examined local conditions that exist throughout the country in terms of program effectiveness, sustainability, and efficiency as well as the relationship between funding structure and Batswana community engagement. Research was conducted over the course of seven weeks at the Botswana Christian AIDS Intervention Program (BOCAIP) in the capital city of Gaborone, and was followed by analysis. By examining the relationship between these two entities (foreign aid policy and funding structure), solutions were identified, thus helping to bridge the gap between funding and practice. The study concludes that community engagement based on local values, customs, and tradition was crucial to effective program implementation. | Page 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to acknowledge my primary thesis advisor Dr. Terry McCabe at the University of Colorado for his patience, expertise in East Africa, and guidance throughout the final compilation of this thesis.

The epidemic peaked in 1999, after which the number of new infections fell by 19% globally, with 5 million people now receiving HIV treatment. By the end of 2009, 37% or approximately 4 million individuals received antiretroviral care in Africa with about 43 countries in the region providing HIV testing and counseling services. In 33 countries (22 of which are located in sub-Saharan Africa), HIV incidence fell by more than 25% between 2001 and 2009. New HIV infections are declining in many of the countries most affected by the epidemic. Fewer people are becoming infected with HIV, and fewer people are dying from AIDS compared to just a decade ago. (UNAIDS 2010) The overall growth of the global AIDS epidemic appears to have stabilized now, over 30 years since the AIDS epidemic was first recognized (UNAIDS 2010). These gains are real but fragile. Despite extensive progress on a global scale, many countries individually will still fail to reach the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome’s (UNAIDS) “Millennium Development Goal number 6.” The UNAIDS program has developed many goals as part of the United Nations Millennium Declaration. This declaration is endorsed by 189 countries and is committed to a new global partnership aiming to reduce extreme world poverty by 2015 including “Millennium Development Goal number 6,” which specifically aims to stop and reverse | Page 6 the spread of AIDS (UNAIDS 2010). There are currently more than 33 million people living with HIV and AIDS worldwide with over 95% of AIDS cases and deaths occurring outside the United States (“History of HIV/AIDS,” 2007). AIDS is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide and the number one cause of death from infectious disease (Healthcommunities.com 2007). It has surpassed malaria as the number one killer in Africa, and although the number of annual AIDS-related deaths worldwide is steadily decreasing, there still were an estimated 1.8 million lives lost in 2009 (UNAIDS 2010). In terms of HIV counseling and testing, although the availability and utilization of HIV testing and counseling services has increased substantially, more than 75% of individuals aged 15-49 in the African region do not know their HIV status (WHO 2011). Condom use among young people remains low and stigmatization, discrimination, and criminalization continue to impede the widespread

  • 2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief
    2011 Population & Housing Census Preliminary Results Brief For further details contact Census Office, Private Bag 0024 Gaborone: Tel 3188500; Fax 3188610 1. Botswana Population at 2 Million Botswana’s population has reached the 2 million mark. Preliminary results show that there were 2 038 228 persons enumerated in Botswana during the 2011 Population and Housing Census, compared with 1 680 863 enumerated in 2001. Suffice to note that this is the de-facto population – persons enumerated where they were found during enumeration. 2. General Comments on the Results 2.1 Population Growth The annual population growth rate 1 between 2001 and 2011 is 1.9 percent. This gives further evidence to the effect that Botswana’s population continues to increase at diminishing growth rates. Suffice to note that inter-census annual population growth rates for decennial censuses held from 1971 to 2001 were 4.6, 3.5 and 2.4 percent respectively. A close analysis of the results shows that it has taken 28 years for Botswana’s population to increase by one million. At the current rate and furthermore, with the current conditions 2 prevailing, it would take 23 years for the population to increase by another million - to reach 3 million. Marked differences are visible in district population annual growths, with estimated zero 3 growth for Selebi-Phikwe and Lobatse and a rate of over 4 percent per annum for South East District. Most district growth rates hover around 2 percent per annum. High growth rates in Kweneng and South East Districts have been observed, due largely to very high growth rates of villages within the proximity of Gaborone.

  • Water Supply Has Resulted in an Increase in Migration from Rural Settlements Leading to an Increase in the Populations of Many Cities Globally
    SURFACE WATER DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF GABORONE CITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS: RESPONSE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND POPULATION INCREASE Bosa Mosekiemang1, G. Mengistu Tsidu1 1Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Botswana International University of Science and Technology, Palapye, Botswana ABSTRACT The adequate supply of the ever-increasing demand of fresh water continues to be a challenge in parts of the globe. This challenge has been aggravated due to increasing population and climate change. The anticipation for better lifestyles and improved water supply has resulted in an increase in migration from rural settlements leading to an increase in the populations of many cities globally. This study therefore investigates the variability and trends in the surface water demand and supply of the city of Gaborone and surrounding areas in response to population growth and climate change using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) model for future scenarios. The study includes analysis of population trends, water production and consumption rates, hydrological of the study area as well as projected climate data at a high spatial resolution of 1 km2. The current General Circulation (GCM) or Regional Climate (RCM) models are not able provide such data. Therefore, the climate data for existing GCMs is statistically downscaled using the high resolution Worldclim data to spatial resolution of 1 km2 and bias corrected against Global Climatology Precipitation Center (GPCC) precipitation. The GCM data for the mid-range Concentration Representative Pathways (RCP4.5) and high emission RCP 8.5 future scenarios of Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) are employed in the study. Under both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios, the reservoir inflow indicates that the level of reservoirs at Foresthill, Diremogolo, Gabane hill, Oodi hill and Mabutswe will be reduced during 2081-2097 period.

These include 2 Hospitals and 42 Health Facilities which are made up of Clinics, Health Posts and Testing Sites. The theme for 2011 through 2016 is “Getting to Zero”. This means zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS related deaths. To facilitate the success of this theme, the Kweneng East DMSAC recently completed its Evidence Based Planning (EBP) process for financial year 2013‐2014. This process involved forming a Planning Group consisting of DMSAC/TAC members, AIDS service organizations representatives, PLWHAs, and traditional leaders in the district. The planning process began by researching and writing an HIV/AIDS profile for the district, the District Profile, and updating the HIV/AIDS Community Services Inventory (CSI). The Planning Group held a one week EBP Training Workshop where collectively they reviewed the District Profile and establish a prioritized list of key issues as follows: 1) Low HIV Testing 2) Low SMC Uptake 3) Low Screening of HIV+ Clients for TB 4) High STI Incidence 5) High Teenage Pregnancy For each issue the Planning Group drafted SMART objectives to guide the creation of strategies to address these issues, which are listed in priority order under each objective.
