Description: This paper investigates the impact of HIV/AIDS epidemic on agroforestry management in South Africa. A critical review of policy reforms in the agroforestry sector is undertaken. The analysis was extended to examine HIV/AIDS in South Africa and the role of the government in curbing the epidemic. A survey was conducted to establish the extent to which HIV/AIDS epidemic is impacting on livelihoods in the rural sector in South Africa. We find that in order to curb the AIDS epidemic, the cofactors of the spread of the HIV/AIDS, such as poor health, poverty, migration and gender inequality needs to be addressed during the agroforestry management project cycle. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is found to be having a devastating impact on the human capital skill base, thus necessitating the need for the government to develop a multi-sectoral response to the AIDS epidemic.
