Executive summary:
The African Wildlife Foundation, together with the people of Africa, works to
ensure the wildlife and wild lands of Africa will endure forever, but this can not
work without people and people need to be prepared in facing challenges of life
where HIV/AIDS is one of the life challenges.
In the recognition that HIV/AIDS is not a merely health issue but a multi-
sectoral issue, AWF commissioned Afya Bora to provide support services to AWF
and TLCT by providing HIV/AIDS intervention amongst Arusha based AWF and
TLCT staff working within the Maasai Steppe Heartland where by situation
analysis was the base of the assignment.
The situation analysis was carried out within Arusha AWF and TLCT staff, by Afya
Bora Mobile Units (T) team so as to form a basis for developing HIV/AIDS
training needs among the staff.
In the process of analysis a total number of thirty two (32) staff were
interviewed using a semi structured questionnaire and three focus groups
discussion conducted.
The methodology used is that the questionnaire for semi structured interview
was developed to suit the context of environment where the survey was to be
conducted. The questionnaire was pre tested for the suitability. Each
questionnaire was designed to individual respondent (AWF and TLCT staff).
Focus group discussion was also conducted to three groups two were support
staff groups and one senior staff group to cross check the answers obtained
using the questionnaire and capture more information which could not be
obtained using the questionnaire.
From the findings it is indicated that staff differ from AWF and TLCT both
academically and even their understanding capacity. AWF staff both senior and
support seem to have exposure than those of TLCT. HIV/AIDS understanding is
too low to TLCT staff than AWF staff. Some of TLCT staff believes that there are
traditional healers who can cure AIDS. The Knowledge, Attitude, Behaviours, and
practices among TLCT staff as shared during the focus group discussion seem to
contribute to the spread of the HIV.
Knowledge of stigma is low to both AWF and TLCT staff but to TLCT staff it is led
by the cultural believe of the area, where by majority believe that HIV/AIDS can
not be found in their area (Mabomani) but it is in Town where people are
prostitute.

(Ni gonjwa ya waswahili hapana iko ndani ya maboma )
Although the HIV/AIDS work place policy exists at AWF only some senior staff
knows and only one red the policy as per analysis. Support staffs are not aware
of the policy.
The Organization when dealing with HIV/AIDS should provide continuous
education on the pandemic, facilitate VCT among staff members and their
families, HIV/AIDS should be integrated /streamlined in conservation activities,
review HIV/AIDS work place policy, Develop Organization strategic plan on how
to implement the HIV/AIDS workplace policy, allocate more resources for
HIV/AIDS interventions, routine condom distribution in office toilets and establish
staff SILC so as to save them from temptations.

1.0 Introduction
1 Background of the HIV/AIDS situation analysis.
1.1 Overall Objective
To improve AWF internal capacity and human resources policy implementation to
address and mitigate vulnerability to HIV/AIDS.
1.2 Specific Objectives
 To determine the level of HIV/AIDS awareness and practices which might
be of risky among AWF and TLCT staff.
 To determine staff understanding of knowledge, attitudes, behaviour and
practices which can contribute to spread of HIV/AIDS pandemic.
1.3 Context
In the recognition that HIV/AIDS is not a merely health issue but a multi-sectoral
issue, AWF commissioned Afya Bora to provide support services to AWF and
TLCT by providing HIV/AIDS intervention amongst Arusha based AWF and TLCT
staff working within the Maasai Steppe Heartland.
Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS into Natural Resources Management should aim at
reducing further infections and mitigate the consequential effects for both staff
and beneficiaries that have been directly or indirectly affected by the pandemic.
Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS should also mean either to mainstream it in AWF-
Natural Resources Management future plans or to integrate HIV/AIDS into future
plans of the project.
2.0 SITUATION ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY.
The Afya Bora Team developed questionnaires for the semi-structured interview in a participatory
manner. Pre-testing was conducted to test the suitability of the questionnaires. Each
questionnaire was designed to interview the individual respondent, a staff (AWF or TLCT staff).
The data collection took place in mid- April 2009, and included AWF staff and TLCT staff.
Two sites, AWF Arusha and TLCT Manyara Ranch have been covered in this
exercise. Semi structured questionnaire was used to gather information at the
range of staff levels amongst AWF and TLCT staff. Focused Group Discussion
was held with group of staff arranged in two different categories, Senior and
Support staff. The questionnaire forms included the following sections:-

7
 Levels of awareness on HIV/AIDS/ Knowledge on HIV/AIDS
 Organization HIV/AIDS intervention
 Levels of stigma
 HIV/AIDS policies
 SWOT analysis
2.1 Sampling techniques
The targeted population for this study included all staff of AWF AND TLCT based
in Arusha region in Tanzania; where as the sampling unit is individual staffs who
are employed by either AWF or TLCT. The sample size was 32 respondents, the
sampling frame were senior/technical and support (guards men/women,
secretaries, receptionists, drivers, shepherd, gardeners, and cleaners with gender
balance being taken care.
The sampling method used to obtain respondents for situation analysis was
simple random sampling done by the appointed person in the respective
organizations AWF and TLCT based on the objective of the study.
2.2 Data collection:
Instrumentation for data collection
Primary data:
Structured questionnaires were used to collect primary data from individual staffs
where by both close ended and open-ended questions were included. The
questionnaire was designed to get staff HIV/AIDS understanding, organization’s
HIV/AIDS intervention, levels of stigma, HIV/AIDS policies and SWOT analysis on
the Organization (AWF /TLCT) HIV/AIDS interventions.
Checklist was also designed and used to obtain data from the Focus Group
Discussion.
Secondary data:
Secondary data was collected from various related documents, as indicated in
the bibliography.
2.3 Data processing, analysis and presentation:
 The surveyed data were summarized and coded before entered into
computer for processing;
 The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for windows was
applied to analyze the data. Analysis was done and descriptive statistics
applied for computing Frequency, percentages and graphs.

8
2.4 Problem encountered / Limitation of the study
 Language barrier for TLCT staff based in Manyara Ranch.
 Low knowledge of some respondents mainly at TLCT.
 Late coming of the target group to the sessions.

3.2 FINDINGS FROM FOCUS GROUP DISCUSION WHERE
CHECKLIST WAS USED.
HIV/AIDS awareness: In general both the senior and support staffs at AWF
Arusha seemed to have a good understanding of the pandemic. However, each
group had its perception on the pandemic as here under:-

11
- The senior staffs maintained that HIV/AIDS is a disease that has no
medicine; they further said it is a killer disease and that it is very
difficult to avoid it. One of the senior staff said he heard that HIV/AIDS
can be transmitted through sweating.
- On the other hand, the support staffs said HIV/AIDS is the disease
which is transmitted through sexual intercourse, sharing of sharp
instruments and through affected blood given to a negative person.
However one of the support staff commented that he has never seen
someone affected by HIV through any other means rather than unsafe
sex.
The finding from TLCT indicates that only the senior staffs that are not exceeding
five (5) are aware of the pandemic. The rest who are the support staff of about
75 by their number, have low understanding of HIV/AIDS. When were asked of
what is HIV/AIDS, only few explained as the disease that they have heard people
talking of it and some heard via Radios. Most surprisingly, they said that
HIV/AIDS can be cured using the Maasai Traditional Medicines. One
participant said that the old women can remove the viruses (wadudu) from the
sick person. The statement was supported by at least 90% of the participants.
TLCT is surrounded by the following villages: - Elisikai, Oldukai, Makuyuni,
Olasiti, Mswakini juu and Mswakini chini. When asked of the knowledge of the
members of those villages, they said that their knowledge is less than ours (TLCT
staffs).
AWF HIV/AIDS work place policy. This part wanted to explore if staff
understand that there is a work place policy for HIV/AIDS. The senior staff
declared to have heard that there is a HIV/AIDS work place policy for their
Organization (AWF) but only one staff has read the document. The staff
commented on the document and said that it needs to be modified to suite the
needs of the workers and their families. He further commented that the
document should reflect the National HIV/AIDS policy. Another senior staff said
that there is the policy but it must be backed up by a plan to implement it
The support staff when asked on the work place policy, 80% said they don’t
know if there is a policy or no and 20% said there is no work place policy for
HIV/AIDS. When asked if they know the National HIV/AIDS policy they reported
that they have heard but none of the staff reported to have read the document.
Their counterparts (both TLCT senior and support staffs) reported that they don’t
have a HIV/AIDS work place policy
With regard to the National HIV/AIDS policy, the senior staff reported to have
heard about the document but as it was the case on the work place policy on
HIV/AIDS, most of them have not read the document. Only two support staffs
stated to know the document but the rest are not aware of the policy.

12
AWF works with the communities living on the animal corridors, towns and some
government partners. These communities have certain behaviours, altitudes and
practices which may act as catalyst towards the fast spread of HIV/AIDS
pandemic. AWF senior staff reported the following behaviours, attitudes and
practices
BEHAVIOURS: In the communities most of young people aged between
11years to 15years have already started sexual intercourse. The elders are
proceeding with their daily behaviours like unsafe sex, polygamy and other bad
behaviours like drinking alcohols and sharing of sharp instruments. On the other
hand the support staff stated that the behaviour of the girls living in
towns/centres like wearing of short skirts/mini skirts, transparent clothes and
being commercial sexual workers is very critical at the moment and that this
behaviour fuels the spread of HIV/AIDS.
ATTITUDES: Most of the TLCT staff members believe that HIV/AIDS is the
disease of those who have not circumcised and hence it is not applicable to the
Maasai community. Some especially the Maasai from Maasai communities, they
believe HIV/AIDS can be treated using the Maasai local medicines and or borne
marrows of giraffe.
PRACTICES: The senior staff reported that the Rangers go to the field for
most of the time. This makes them to involve themselves in the practices of
unsafe sex while in the field. They also said that in their camps, Rangers are not
provided with condoms and this means they do sex without condoms. The
support staffs said that the main practice of the workers is the interaction
between them and the surrounding communities.
TLCT support staffs reported to have the normal Maasai behaviours, altitudes
and practices that include youth ceremonies (ESOTO), polygamy, age set sharing
of wives and sharing of sharp instruments especially in cutting their hair. They
further commented that they don’t have HIV/AIDS education while their
interaction amongst themselves and with the community is very high. They say
that, they think they are the most vulnerable people because of poor knowledge
on the pandemic.
The level of stigma at AWF is very low as they stated that the organization
procedure does not discriminate people on employment. They also stated that if
someone is having health problems they do take care of his or her health.
However, the support staff said that they don’t know if there is discrimination or
not since it has never happened that the sick person is known in the
Organization.

13
ORGANIZATION SWOT ANALYSIS IN DEALING WITH HIV/AIDS; both
the senior and support staff at AWF stated the following as their strength,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats in dealing with HIV/AIDS. However, the
TLCT support staff couldn’t tell the position of their organization in fighting
against HIV/AIDS, they were referring us to their bosses for more information
while their bosses were not available to provide the information needed.
STRENGTH:
i) They have a workplace policy for HIV/AIDS.
ii) They have financial resources and skilled personnel.
iii) They have access to working beyond the borders of Tanzania as they
are an International Organization.
iv) Some of their staff are knowledgeable of the pandemic.
WEAKNESSES:
i) Lack of internal capacity to address the whole issue of HIV/AIDS.
ii) They stated that they ignored HIV/AIDS because it is not their focus.
OPPORTUNITIES
i) Fund raising capacity.
ii) An increasing recognition of mainstreaming intervention of HIV/AIDS
programs into conservation.
iii) Good number of partners.
iv) They work with many partners.
THREATS
i) Cultural and religious barrier.
ii) Global economic crisis.
iii) Poor infrastructures.
iv) Language barrier and
v) Political instabilities.

14
DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS:
There is a large population at Manyara Ranch (more than 70 staff), because of
the nature of activities conducted at that place, the interaction is also high, but
the knowledge of HIV/AIDS is low compared to AWF where the population is a
low (about 20 staff, where permanent staff are about 8). This need to be given
special attention with regards to the high spread of HIV and the cultural
interaction existing at TLCT. HIV/AIDS awareness creation, training, sensitization
workshops and exposure are very important to both AWF and TLCT staffs but
exposure is more specific to TLCT staff.
Education is very important in dealing with community issues as well as
HIV/AIDS which is the factor contributing to increase of vicious cycle of poverty.
TLCT staffs need to be capacitated in terms of Education where by adult
education would be an appropriate for them as most of them have not attended
the formal education.
Clear understanding of HIV/AIDS to both AWF staff at Arusha and TLCT staff at
Manyara Ranch still need to be given priority as there are misconception about
HIV/AIDS to some of the staffs. Also the uses of some words indicate that there
is stigma among staff members (e.g. Mtu mwenye iyo ngoma hawezi kufanya
kazi vizuri).
HIV/AIDS spread is well known to most of the respondents where unsafe sex
mentioned to took the high chance of spreading HIV, but when it comes to
prevention, the use of condom to those who can not opt for abstinence, cultural
and religious belief seem to be the barrier to condom use. Probing some
respondents it was said that some use condom but it has to be very secret. Then
it could be helpful for AWF and TLCT management to see if in future they can
facilitate condom availability in their office toilets where those in need of it can
easily get it.
Educating people on HIV/AIDS issues openly and sensitising them for VCT which
was mentioned by 21.9% of the respondents is an important step of preventing
HIV spread. This will help to educate those who said AIDS can be cured, those
who believe that HIV/AIDS is a witch craft and those who came up with an idea
that Giraffe bone marrows or Indigenous Knowledge (IK) can be used to cure
AIDS.
More than three quarter of the respondents (90.6%) know various signs of
HIV/AIDS but the challenge is that “Are these staff aware that having one or
more of those signs is not a justification that a person is HIV positive?”
Awareness creation is very important to AWF and TLCT staffs.

15
The survey seems to be the important step taken by AWF as an initiative in
preventing HIV/AIDS among AWF and TLCT staffs; therefore they have to come
up with strategies of sustaining these initiatives for the current and future
benefits while conserving the environment.
Possible areas to be improved while the Organization is dealing with HIV/AIDS
are to provide continuous education on the pandemic, facilitate VCT among staff
members and their families, HIV/AIDS to be integrated/streamlined in
conservation activities, Develop Organization strategic plan on how to implement
HIV/AIDS work place policy, allocate more resources for HIV/AIDS interventions,
routine condom distribution and establish SILC among staff members so as to
save them from temptations of need of money.
The impact of HIV/AIDS in wild life and conservation management as mentioned
by respondents that it decreases labour force, inefficiency and ineffectiveness
which lead into low productivity. It is true that loss of human capacity is seriously
affecting conservation, including protected areas and community- based natural
resource management. Conservation staffs are more vulnerable especially those
who spend time away from their families as they are likely to seek other sexual
partners at the same time not using protective measures.
The Organization has to develop strategic plan on how to mainstream HIV/AIDS
in natural resource conservation, where by among other things it should include,
improvement of HIV/AIDS work place policy, overcome stigma and avoid
discrimination, adapt HIV/AIDS training programs to reduce HIV transmission,
encourage staffs to speak out about HIV/AIDS both in the work place and with
family members, collaborate with other partners, lob and advocate for better
policies and develop new approaches to reduce conservation impacts.
The Organization can also prepare posters with different HIV/AIDS messages
where by those staffs going to the field can distribute them or hang them for
more people to read and the message will spread quickly. While making these
posters the Organization has to be very keen not to prepare messages with
stigma.
Having low knowledge on HIV/AIDS, stigma seems to be high to support staff
than senior staff; this might be caused by insufficient exposure (more specific to
TLCT) to these staff which is very important.
The HIV/AIDS work place policy which exist at AWF seem to be known to very
few staff, it is better when the policy is reviewed every staff to be given a copy
and assigned to read and signed it at the end to declare that he/she has read
and understood it well.
The SWOT analysis was clear to senior staff but difficult to support staff because
of the education level, but as shown in the findings it is important for the

16
Organization to see how to overcome the weakness and develop the existing
strength as well as utilizing the opportunities available.
In general the Knowledge of HIV/AIDS among staff members differ from one
staff to another but the knowledge of TLCT staff members is low compared to
AWF staff members.
The Behaviours, Attitudes and Practices also do differ among AWF and TLCT
staff members, mainly caused by the traditions and cultures of TLCT staff
community and inadequate exposure of staff specifically TLCT staff.
4. RECOMMENDATIONS
The findings give room for the Organization to orient itself on clear way to
streamline HIV/AIDS into its programs.
HIV/AIDS education has to be extended to the surrounding villages and all
working areas of AWF for clear results and future impact of their projects.
AWF/TLCT should have HIV/AIDS intervention strategy. It is also important
HIV/AIDS agenda to be included in all the formal and informal staff meetings so
as to remind each other on the pandemic, reflect regularly and advice each other
if need be.
HIV/AIDS education to some of TLCT staffs and communities to be provided
using PICTORIAL presentation. It will be helpful to them and it will help them
understand easily since most of them have not even gone for a primary school
education hence they can not read and/or write.
For TLCT staff, it would be better to train local volunteers (Give them intensive
training) and use them as ToTs (Trainers of Trainers) in the area while
monitoring them using prepared monitoring tool.
To help illiterate TLCT staff by introducing adult education will be beneficial to
them.
The sensitization workshop and training on HIV/AIDS should be done by
separating AWF and TLCT staff due to different levels of understanding.
HIV/AIDS intervention to in schools and out of school children is very important
for building future responsible generation.

17
Condom use education and promotion to staffs and the communities should be
given priority. Also it is important to supply condoms into restrooms of their
working places.
Both AWF and TLCT staffs and their families should be sensitized for Voluntary
Counselling and Testing (VCT).
