The National Academy of Public Administration,
in partnership with the US Agency for International Development,
held a working conference, bringing together Sub-Saharan African
public officials, experts, and organizational representatives
from the international community to develop a strategy to
deal with the devastating effects the AIDS epidemic has had
on African teachers, administrators and civil servants in
Ministries of Education.
The Academy used its convening authority
to assemble a small-about 30-group of experts, practitioners
and policy-makers who were charged with identifying and developing
strategies that Sub-Saharan African governments can employ
to immediately prevent the further annihilation of their teaching
and civil service corps and to manage a decimated educational
workforce already impacted by the AIDS epidemic.
The Strategy Paper produced as a result
of the conference is available here.

The working conference was held on November
17-18, 2003 at the Academy’s offices at 1100 New York
Avenue, Washington, DC 20005.
