Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Health - Public Health, , course: project management, language: English, abstract: Management of the HIV/AIDS scourge worldwide attracts financial resources from different donor agencies ¿ often with conditions and specific requirements attached. Despite the huge flow of HIV/AIDS funds into poor countries, AIDS related problems remain a menace. Stringent fund conditions and requirements are perceived to impede the struggle against the pandemic. This paper investigates lessons recipient organizations need to learn from donor conditions, if the struggle against HIV/AIDS is to be fully tenable. Guided by existing literature, the study uses a mixed paradigm approach (quantitative and qualitative) with a cross sectional data from both donor and implementing agencies. The study finds an average 29.9% level of non compliance to the 9 investigated donor conditions. Given the implied effects of non compliance to donor conditions and supported with literature review, the study points to two categorical lessons: first, need to invest more on capacity building-particularly, HR training-so as to reduce overreliance on foreign manpower; and second, the need to ensure coordinated programming of funds for harmonious solicitation and funding of HIV/AIDS project activities.

Using the Ministry of Public Service¿s exfacto and longitudinal, cross-sectional data of retirees, the study used descriptive statistics to analyze the trends and tested the null hypothesis that average retirement age is not significantly different from the statutory mandatory age at exit.The study found a small proportion of voluntary retirees with majority retiring at mandatory age but with an average age of retirement hitting roughly 2 years below this age. Empirical findings show that public servants¿ average age at retirement is significantly different from the mandatory age.
