Economic Impact of HIV/AIDS on South Africa and Implications for Governance
This literature review and analysis of issues related to economics, HIV/AIDS and governance, follows a similar review conducted in 2000. In the review it was noted that many gaps existed in the literature, and that there was a generally poor understanding of crucial issues that inform impact, policy and response. It is certainly a positive sign that in the development of an updated bibliography (available as a separate document), the number of texts available has almost doubled in the space of two years. Whilst authors of this review continue to highlight gaps, particularly in South Africa specific research, it is a positive sign that social scientists are developing a closer interest in HIV/AIDS, and that funding and support for research in the area is clearly growing.
