RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R&D)<br />

A full time chaplain, Cpln (Rev) V.P. Nkonyane has his office at<br />

MPI and does ongoing research on the HIV & AIDS Programme<br />

of the <strong>Chaplain</strong> General.<br />

From 21-22 November a research team (including chaplains and<br />

MPI members) developed a scientific measurement tool to measure<br />

the effectiveness of the <strong>Chaplain</strong> General HIV & AIDS<br />

Programme.<br />

As part of ongoing research, two chaplains namely Colonels (Dr)<br />

J. Dill and (Rev) T.J. Molaba went to Uganda (on 25 September<br />

to 1 October this year) for a benchmarking visit in order to improve<br />

<strong>Chaplain</strong> General HIV & AIDS Programme. The visit was very<br />

informative and helpful as expertise and experience on running of<br />

HIV and AIDS Programmes were shared.
