If other sectors or stakeholders outside the education sector are, or will be, addressing HIV
and AIDS in education, why will it still be necessary for the education sector to take on this
responsibility?
According to the fl ow chart, strong leadership is critical to an effective response. In this
context, consider the following:
a. Who are the leaders in the education sector in the country where you are based?
b. What is your assessment of the commitment of leaders in the education sector to
addressing HIV & AIDS and SRHR?
c. In what ways do you think your assessment of this commitment may differ from that
of your colleagues in other development agencies? Why?
d. What is the opinion of leadership on HIV & AIDS and SRHR within your agency?
To what extent does the joint agency position paper presented in this toolkit fi t with what
your agency is trying to achieve at the country level?
Make a list of the international commitments/targets that your agency has subscribed
to for the education sector. To what extent will the achievement of these commitments
be affected by HIV and AIDS? What role should development cooperation agencies
play in making sectors/governments aware of the threat that HIV and AIDS pose to the
achievement of these commitments?
