Concern Worldwide Uganda is an International Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) committed to improving the lives of people who cannot meet their basic needs and rights. Since 2002, Concern had conducted two staff HIV and AIDS KAPB surveys to assess its efforts toward supporting staff and their families in relation to HIV and AIDS. This survey was intended to reveal the staff KAPB and changes that had occurred over time as a result of HIV and AIDS interventions that have been implemented by Concern at the workplace. The exercise was led by Dr. Narathius Asingwire of Socio-Economic Data Centre Ltd
PROJECT TITLE
Staff HIV and AIDS Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices and Behaviour (KAPB) Survey for Concern Uganda
To identify HIV and AIDS KAPB of Concern staff in order to design appropriate HIV and AIDS activities that address the gaps and strengthen identified best practices
1. To find out HIV and AIDS knowledge as well as attitudes among Concern staff in Uganda
2. To analyze behaviors and practices with a potential to expose Concern staff to the risks of HIV infection
3. To compare and contrast the changes in the current KABP among concern staff vis-Ã -vis results of the previous survey(s)
4. To assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats inherent in the current HIV and AIDS interventions by Concern
5. To make recommendations with regard to HIV and AIDS education and other related support for Concern staff and family members.
A combination of quantitative and qualitative methods was used in carrying out this survey. Structured questionnaires and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) Guides served as the primary tools for data collection. A strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of interventions in place including uptake of HIV and AIDS-related services by staff as well as family members and an indication on measures and suggestions for the future were obtained using this tool. Review of programme documents also served as a means of collecting secondary qualitative data
