New Vision (Kampala) - December 28, 2001
Charles Kakamwa reports that Dr. David Kaweesi, an economist, said liberalisation of the media would lead to greater awareness among the masses. He was presenting a paper on Uganda's experience in the fight against HIV/AIDS at a planning workshop organised by Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development at Hotel Triangle in Jinja on Tuesday.
The two-day workshop was aimed at discussing HIV/AIDS issues in the ministry and identifying means of disseminating information regarding the epidemic to other sectors.
Kaweesi said private FM radios had helped to combat the Ebola epidemic and would do the same in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
