EHAIA documents

During the last two decades the World Council of Churches (WCC) has developed a wide range of HIV/AIDS related statements and tools. Some are not in use any more, others are remarkably timeless and still in high demand. The Ecumenical HIV/AIDS Initiative in Africa (EHAIA), which started in 2002 under the WCC's Health and Healing Programme, in cooperation with the All Africa Conference of Churches, has since added publications which are certainly relevant not only for African settings. All these have been assembled here. Most are available in English, many also in French, some in Spanish or Portuguese and a few in African languages, like Lingala, Malagasy and Swahili.

The material includes basic studies and policy statements of church leaders consultations for reflection in the churches and the wider society. A framework for engagement for greater participation of People Living with HIV in the life of the Church has now been added. Practical training and teaching as well as pastoral counselling and liturgical materials are also included.
