Note by Robin Palmer, Land Policy Adviser, January 2003:

As well as building up a collection on gender and land on this website, I've also consciously been seeking good materials on the very important issue of HIV/AIDS and land rights. Here is the current list, with grateful thanks to SARPN (Southern African Regional Poverty Network) which, together with Oxfam GB, has been active in this area.
