Summary
The main purpose of this survey was to obtain informati on on the prevalence of HIV among farm workers and to document their behaviours, percepti ons and atti tudes regarding HIV-related issues. This information will enable IOM, government and local partners to develop customized HIV prevention, treatment, care and support programmes for farm workers. It also serves as a baseline against which trends over time may be compared. In addition, the findings will be used as an advocacy tool to engage key regional and nati onal stakeholder and decision makers.
