CENTRE FOR RESEARCH
IN HIV & AIDS
The Centre for Research in HIV and AIDS (CRHA) was created to foster synergies among UWC researchere and research teams and to develop major new research efforts to build an African and global centre of excellence. It will actively engage communities, schools, the health system, and gender and social equity advocates in developing, conducting, sharing, and applying research and teaching.
Housed in the School of Public Health and working closely with the University's HIV&AIDS Programme, the Centre seeks to catalyze and co-ordinate engaged, multidisciplinary HIV-related research across the University and to implement strategic activities to support and add value to research and its use. It does this through symposia, seminars, recruiting and hosting graduate students and post-doctoral and other fellows, producing a publication series and this website, among others.
The CRHA emphasizes systems and society, and has initially concentrated on health policies and systems; education and learning; gender and gender-based violence; and capacity strengthening.
