Center for Development Initiatives in partnership with the two Social Work Training Institutions (School of Social, Osu-Ghana and School of Social Work, University of Georgia, Atlanta) presented a paper on HIV/AIDS related Stigma and Discrimination:

Implications for Prevention as part of an annual program between the two schools that seeks to create a platform for intense exchanges of ideas between students and faculty members on how best they can help their clients(communities, individuals, families and policy makers) enhance their problem-solving and coping strategies.

These annual events are also aimed at informing and influencing policy and social work  practice. This year event took place on the 30th May, 2013 at the School of Social Work and was attended by over 150 participants.
