dc.description.abstract There is poor coordination of Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) programmes in Ugu District Municipality. The purpose of this study was to explore factors that determine effective co-ordination of HIV/AIDS programmes in Ugu District Municipality. A cross-sectional study of 239 respondents from community-based organisations responded to structured questionnaires. Results indicate limited knowledge of existing programmes for HIV/AIDS coordination, varied periods of operation on HIV/AIDS services, inconsistencies in receiving information and updates about HIV/AIDS programmes, varied educational qualifications of HIV/AIDS programme managers and limited skills and experiences related to chairing of HIV/AIDS meetings. All these resulted in ineffective co-ordination of HIV/AIDS programmes in Ugu District Municipality. There should be relevant support structures, policies and processes to ensure effective coordination of HIV and AIDS responses in municipalities in South Africa. en
