| Additional information: The paper reviews the actual and potential role of FBOs in encouraging culturally appropriate prevention education, in promoting quality pastoral care, and in fostering compassionate non-judgmental service provision to PLWHA. Although the documented evidence base for the effectiveness of FBO interventions is still small, the review of lessons learned by experts leading in the field of FBOs and HIV/AIDS provides sufficient ground to make recommendations. These lessons are based on the available documentation. The forward looking recommendations take into account the areas in which FBOs have the potential to help and areas where they may hinder effective activities. This paper should be seen as a starting point for further discussion and elaboration. This desk review aims to support policy and decision makers, religious and opinion leaders, and researchers. |
