3.3.3 Community Mobilisation
It was evident that the HCTs had been influential in encouraging neighbours to provide encouragement and a little food and support to PLHA. However, the community leaders felt that there was little evidence of systematic community mobilisation to support PLHA being initiated by the HCTs, and felt that this should be a future role of the home care programme. They suggested that volunteers, with appropriate support from the HCTs, could play a major role in identifying and forging links with existing community resources.
