This report is intended to assist local government water services and environmental health officials with planning and implementing water and sanitation services, together with health and hygiene education, in order to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS. It sets out a framework for municipal responses to HIV/AIDS and highlights ways in which HIV/AIDS can be mainstreamed into water and sanitation planning, regulation, implementation and provision. In order to clarify the institutional complexities in water and environmental health services, it provides a model, strategies and indicators for implementing project-related health and hygiene education in the context of HIV/AIDS.
