ABSTRACT

This study investigates the effect of HIV/AIDS on the livelihoods of rural farmers in Ghana. Despite significant progress in the management of HIV/AIDS, its impact on rural communities, particularly farmers, remains a pressing concern. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research examines the socio-economic implications of HIV/AIDS on rural farmers’ livelihoods, including agricultural productivity, household income, and food security. Through empirical analysis and qualitative insights, the study aims to identify the challenges faced by rural farmers affected by HIV/AIDS and propose strategies to mitigate its adverse effects on livelihoods in Ghana.
