Major factors influencing HIV/AIDS project evaluation

Article Abstract:

The study aims to find out if participatory processes do make a valuable contribution in communication-based project implementation/evaluation and the fight against HIV/AIDS. Participatory processes were noted to have created an enabling environment for project beneficiaries to become activists for social change, leading to the limiting of the spread of HIV/AIDS through sexual behavior and a change of attitude, the essence required for successful intervention.
