... modelling

Earlier versions of the content of this paper formed part of the presentations to the seminars mentioned in the companion paper. Though papers reporting the empirical model are cited below, my gratitude to the devlopers of those models, Ruth Meyer and Shah Jamal Alam, is appropriately recorded here. Those models and the understanding that made possible the abstract model reported below owes much to our colleagues in the Stockholm Environment Institute Oxford Office, especially Gina Ziervogel and Anna Taylor. The research reported here was funded by the European Commission under the Framework Programme 6, New and Emerging Science and Technology (NEST) programme and the CAVES Project.

... Programme

Rural AIDS and Development Action Research Programme. This programme has run the IMAGE study (Intervention with Microfinance for AIDS & Gender Equity) (RADAR, 2005) which collects information in order to support an active programme of amelioration and support, both medical and social, of communities and victims of gender violence and HIV/AIDS. We could not admire them more and we are deeply grateful to the members of the programme for the data they have allowed us to use.
