RFI: Traditional Medicine and HIV/AIDS
--------------------------------------

Hello,

Is anyone aware of recent action research carried out in the
area of traditional medicine/practitioners and HIV/AIDS, and/or
organisations that are interested in funding such work? I.e.,
incorporating existing traditional medical systems and struc-
tures into the struggle against HIV/AIDS. We are seeking funding
and materials for a proposal that aims to do this type of work
here in Mozambique.

Thanks in advance,

interested in funding action research in this area?
