Abstract
This study addresses the challenges of managing social support projects for people living with hiv/aids with focus to the aids support organization (taso) mulago. the social support projects include: children’s education support, revolving fund for income generation activities (iga), apprenticeship programme and food aid projects. the study was necessitated by the increasing challenges of managing the social support projects for the people living with hiv/aids in taso mulago. taso strategic plan for 2003-2007 confirmed that over 80% of taso clients live in abject poverty, food insecurity and access to health and safe water are beyond their reach. the winding up of a food project called pl 480 title ii project in september 2006 worsened the situation. the project served 1000 individual clients and 5000 total beneficiaries. apprenticeship programme also wound up in 2004 and celtel also stopped sponsoring 50 children for formal education. these challenges compelled the researcher to conduct this study. the general objectives of the study were to assess the challenges of managing taso mulago social support projects for people living with hiv/aids and suggest possible solutions to the challenges. the research specifically sought to study the criteria of implementing the social support projects, find out the challenges of managing the social support projects, establish the feelings of taso mulago clients towards the management of the social support services and suggest possible solutions to the challenges faced. the key research question was; how should the support services be implemented to satisfy the needs of the various stakeholders, without necessarily constraining the projects
