| Abstract: | Abstract This article focuses on the need for expanded stakeholder involvement as a means of enhancing the Botswana Department of Secondary Education (DSE) HIV and AIDS strategic plan. Research has indicated that the effects of HIV and AIDS on the supply of and demand for education are considerable. Using a questionnaire and interviews, the research has established that the current DSE HIV and AIDS strategic plan lacks comprehensive strategies for preventing HIV spread in schools. Furthermore, the study has shown that there is limited external stakeholder involvement. The study, therefore, has explored how greater success could be realized. The study has concluded that the strategic plan can be improved through expanded external stakeholder involvement at all the stages of the strategic plan. In order to enhance the DSE strategic plan, a stakeholder involvement model is presented. |
