How are African Universities responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic? An African Perspectives discussion on Yahoo!Groups
In conjunction with the Association of African Universities (AAU), AAI conducted a moderated online discussion from February 10 to March 14, 2003 utilizing the Internet and email as a means of soliciting African perspectives. AAI utilized its broad access within Africa to assemble a group with relevant expertise in the discussion themes. Fifty-four individuals from all regions of Africa signed on YAHOO!

- What are the constraints facing these institutions in mounting the fight against HIV/AIDS?
