Summary
The Norwegian Embassy in Lusaka requested Norad and the Regional Swedish-Norwegian HIV and AIDS-team to do a joint gender and HIV/AIDS mainstreaming review , to see how gender and AIDS concerns could be better mainstreamed in the Embassy portfolio. Four different programmes were selected for the review, covering important areas for the embassy development cooperation in Zambia;
1. Budget support,
2. Legal aid
3. Conservation farming
4. Joint Gender Support programme.
The team met with programme officers, partners and key informants, in addition to having one field visit, connected to conservation farming.
A review like this may help a process of better mainstreaming, but needs to be followed up by the Embassy. In general, the team found that there were a number of opportunities lost in relation to gender and AIDS mainstreaming. There is good competence at the Embassy and with key partners of the Embassy, and from the different programmes, there should be good
opportunities for better synergies and learning.
