9. Joint Oxfam HIV/AIDS Program (JOHAP) - South Africa
In 1998, a group of Oxfam agencies established the Joint Oxfam
HIV/AIDS Programme in South Africa (JOHAP) in an effort to
strengthen the South African civil society response to HIV/AIDS.
The programme focusses on women and AIDS and the mainstreaming
of AIDS and gender, with capacity-building and advocacy work
concentrated in Kwa-Zulu Natal and the Northern Province. JO-
HAP's partner organisations address young people and children,
policy makers, colleagues, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Ox-
fam Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in Australia manages the pro-
gramme and supports local programme staff members in the JOHAP
secretariat in Durban.

11. South Africa's Antenatal HIV Rates
The 2000 ante-natal HIV survey revealed staggering HIV infection
rates in KwaZulu-Natal, where 36,2% (32,5% in 1999) of the preg-
nant women who participated in the study tested HIV positive.
Mpumalanga recorded the sharpest increase at 29,7% (23,8% in
1999), Gauteng 29,3% (23,8% in 1999) and the Free State 27,9%
(27,9% in 1999). Projections extrapolated from the survey esti-
mate that 4,7-million people in South Africa are HIV infected of
which the majority is women and in their prime years.
