It is also suggested that the agricultural sector is not yet able to deal effectively with HIV and AIDS and that, in this regard, urgent planning is needed in respect of HIV and AIDS policies and interventions Social Work M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS) 2012-10-17T08:59:58Z 2012-10-17T08:59:58Z 2012-02 Dissertation Monnakgotla, Nakedi Margaret (2012) Evaluation of the implementation of an HIV/AIDS workplace policy for farm workers : a case study of Country Mushrooms, University of South Africa, Pretoria, <http://hdl.handle.net/10500/6776> http://hdl.handle.net/10500/6776 en 1 online resource (x, 93 leaves) application/pdf
