Africa
Bridge, an NGO committed to providing support for local leadership on
AIDS issues in Africa, plans to use Future Search in a number of
projects in East Africa in 2003: 1) A project to
link Traditional African healers -- who are having a large degree of
success treating AIDS - western doctors, clinics, hospitals, testing
laboratories, NGOs and other dealing with AIDS in Northern Tanzania in
a collaborative network. This project will be done in Tanga, Tanzania
and led through a cooperative effort between Africa Bridge and the
Tanga Aides Working Group. More information on the success of
traditional healing can be found at: http://www.unaids.org/publications/documents/care/ (Download the document called Ancient Remedies, New Disease, June 2002) 2)
A capacity building forum for Tanga AIDS working group in Tanga,
Tanzania to assist the Tanzanian NGO in building its internal capacity. 3)
A project to build local involvement and leadership in a community
health effort in Miwani and Muhorani sub-locations near Kisumu, Kenya.
Communities here built a clinic and trained 200 community health
workers. While there is an exemplary local effort to deal with
major health concerns in the region, including a 35% AIDS infection
rate, there are almost now drugs or treatment facilitate available.
The Future Search project will focus on enlisting ownership
broader support for these projects. This project will be done in
a joint venture between Africa Bridge and Global Horizons.
