Community Care Coalitions (CCCs): An Effective, Local, and Community-Wide Response to HIV and AIDS in Gwembe District, Zambia

Esther Nkumbwa

This short paper shows that Community Care Coalitions can serve as effective local mechanisms for providing community-led care and support while minimizing the risks of dependency. It argues, in the context of programming in Gwembe District, Zambia, that they provide a powerful platform for a self-sustained, community-wide response to HIV and AIDS prevention, care and advocacy.
