Background paper to the workshop. It begins with a brief background section, including information on the current status of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Malawi, the country's water, sanitation and hygiene situation and an outline of the key linkages between these two sectors. A second section focuses on common findings and recommendations from the six WHO/USAID country assessments. Additional Malawi-specific findings are also presented. A third section highlights key lessons learned and recommendations. Finally, a series of issues requiring further discussion are presented. Complementing this paper are additional documents, including a more in-depth literature review, a broader exploration of the intersection between water, sanitation hygiene and HIV/AIDS and draft policy recommendations for Malawi.
