56c) There is need to improve the implementing and the national co-ordinating entity’scapacity at resource mobilisation. While most implementing partners have finance andaccounting departments, they do not have resource mobilisation components or units.d) Funding partners should take steps to fund a retention and capacity building strategyfor professional health care personnel. The retention strategy should include issues suchas competitive remuneration packages, availability of sufficient protective materials andequipment for health care personnel. The working and living conditions for all healthworkers, especially those in rural areas should be improved, including recruitment ofhealth care professionals from abroad and neighbouring countries.j) For SADC and international bodies, it is recommended that ways and means toimplement these agreements should be clearly outlined and executed. It is not enoughto talk. It is only action on the ground that will produce desired results. Financesallocated for HIV and AIDS interventions should be realistic. Medicines must be kept inconstant supply and always be in excess of the required amounts. Workshops must notbe confined to urban areas but should reach even the remotest of areas. Food must bemade available to all despite geographical locations, as even urbanites are poor. Thereis need for awareness-creation on the pandemic through education. Also, awarenessshould be created about conventions, declarations and other instruments governingthe implementation of HIV and AIDS-related interventions and translated into the locallegislation. This is necessary to enlighten citizens to be able to participate and alsounderstand their rights.
