Tuberculosis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus are among the leading infectious disease killers in the developing world. These diseases are life threatening when contracted on their own, but the threat is becoming more severe as an increasing number of people infected with HIV are also contracting TB.

The case studies in this volume describe how Catholic Relief Services and its partners worked with farmers and other stakeholders in Africa, India, Latin America and Southeast Asia during the last five years to develop agricultural business enterprises. Each case study focuses on a specific stage in the agroenterprise development process, and together they build a comprehensive outline of how to go about helping farmers enter and compete in agricultural markets. Introductory and concluding essays describe the "learning alliance" process that provided the foundation for these programs, synthesize the lessons learned and map out a strategy for future work.
This case study documents the transition of AIDSRelief responsibility for overall management of a large antiretroviral treatment program to local partners in South Africa. Catholic Relief Services hopes that the South Africa case study will contribute to the learning of other countries as they embark on the road to transition.
