| Summary: | Foundation for Research on Women's
Health, Productivity and the Environment (BAFROW) is a local
women's Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in The
Gambia that is considered an example of best practice for
its holistic and community-based approach to the promotion
of healthy behavior, women's activities and the fight
against HIV/AIDS. A knowledge and learning team from the
Africa region's quality and knowledge department
visited the NGO in January 2003 and the BAFROW team shared
the lessons learned, the challenges encountered and the
successes they have encountered thus far. The debriefings
(video-taped open-ended interviews) on which this article is
based, included many prominent members and leaders of local
NGOs and HIV/AIDS projects. |
