The Big Picture

From 2006 to 2010 STOP AIDS NOW! supported an innovative project in Kenya and Indonesia which gave equal weight to HIV prevention, gender equity and human rights. At the end of the project they asked me to set out the theory and practice of their partners' efforts in a 'how to' guide. The result, which I co-authored with the project's manager, Jennifer Bushee, was 'The Big Picture: A Guide for Implementing HIV Prevention that Empowers Women and Girls?.

A Different Way

Vivre Sa Difference

Rutgers WPF asked gay and straight young people from around the world about what information would help girls and young women who have questions about their sexual orientation.

I used their ideas and queries to write A Different Way, which was also translated into French as Vivre Sa Difference.

Break Another Silence

Brise un Autre Silence

Break Another Silence: Understanding Sexual Minorities and Taking Action for Sexual Rights in Africa (2010) is a booklet I wrote for Oxfam, aimed at advocacy within NGOs.  The French translation is Briser un Autre Silence: Comprendre les Minorities Sexuelles et Mener des Actions en Defense de Leurs Droits Sexuel en Afrique.

In a context of widespread homophobia and misinformation, it aims to give Oxfam's and other NGOs' staff both facts and food for thought about alternative sexualities.

Managing HIV in the workplace

Managing HIV in the workplace - Hindi version

La gestion du VIH sur.
le lieu de travail

STOP AIDS NOW! commissioned me to write this handbook to help organisations reduce the effects of HIV on their staff and their work.

Managing HIV in the Workplace: A Guide for CSOs (2010) was translated into French as La Gestion du VIH sue le Lieu de Travail. The Hindi translation was done by INSA India in 2013.

I've put the full versions of this guide for download here, you'll also find 6 page summaries on the STOP AIDS NOW! website, along with a lot more information on this topic.

Failing Women, Withholding Protection

Oxfam Novib is one of the few organisations in the world investing in allowing the female condom to serve its purpose. I was fortunate to have the job of researching a position paper for them, Failing Women, Withholding Protection.

They and the World Population Fund used it in their advocacy push at the 2008 International AIDS Conference.  Find out more about their Universal Access to Female Condoms campaign here.

Support to Mainstreaming AIDS
in Development

Although not credited as such, I co-wrote this Strategy Note (minus the Action Framework) with Bob Verbruggen of UNAIDS.

AIDS on the Agenda

My book on HIV mainstreaming, AIDS on the Agenda (2003) was one of the first publications on this subject. The definitions which I developed back then are now widely used.

You can download the entire book for free or buy it from Oxfam publications.

Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in Development and Humanitarian Programmes

AIDS on the Agenda is a hefty book; the cut down version of it, Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in Development and Humanitarian Programmes, was published in 2004.

You can download it for free or buy a hard copy from Oxfam publications.

Good Donorship in a Time of AIDS

Good Donorship in a Time of AIDS (2006) was the outcome of an interesting process of research and negotiation.

In it I set out the sponsoring donors' commitments to support their partners' efforts to manage HIV in their workplaces. I also presented the rationale and basic steps for organisations to do this.
