Aids, NGos and Globalization

Globalization during the 20th century gave rise to the importance of NGOs. Many problems could not be solved within a nation. International treaties and international organizations such as the World Trade Organization were perceived as being too centered on the interests of capitalist enterprises. The evolution of HIV/ AIDS care has resulted in a wide range of care givers who work within public and private hospital facilities, NGOs, and community based facilities,. Others are volunteers and community health and social workers based at facilities or community sites. This book is a modest attempt to discuss all these issues. It intends to focus on NGO, Globalization and response to HIV/AIDS in India and abroad. The case studies of various NGOs reflect the initiatives, programme execution strategies, successes and challenges faced by them in combating H1V/AIDS.
