74 have undermined successful implementation include beneficiary selection as well as fragmented beneficiary support, land administration and governance, especially in communal areas. The Green Paper on Land Reform provides a comprehensive policy framework within which to locate the initiatives indicated above in order to improve the pace and quality of land reform in South Africa. The consultation process on the Green Paper on Land Reform has been completed. The Department of Rural Development, in partnership with key stakeholders, is analysing the public and written comments. It is expected that the draft policy will be presented soon. Monitoring of progress and impact of the new initiatives is going to be very important given the sensitivity and importance of resolving the land question in former settler colonies like South Africa. 3.4.2 Combating HIV and AIDS and other communicable diseases43 During the reporting period, the strategic framework used to guide the work of the National Department of Health is the 10 Point Plan for 2009-2014. The Plan prioritizes, amongst others, HIV&AIDS. In operationalising the Plan, the Minister of Health also signed the Negotiated Service Delivery Agreement (NSDA) 2010- 2014 with various Ministers in Cabinet and with all the 9 Members of Executive Councils (MECs) for health in the nine provinces to ensure that the health sector can implement the NSDA. The National Health Council is the implementing forum for the NSDA and is meeting at regular intervals to provide leadership to the health sector. In steering the country’s efforts towards the NSDA 2010-2014, the galvanization of the health sector is focused on advocacy and community mobilization through campaigns and is aimed at promoting and securing health. Three successful campaigns were implemented in keeping with this theme - the HIV counseling and testing (HCT) campaign, community-based TB campaigns, and immunization campaigns. In April 2010, the President launched the HCT campaign. By the end of the financial year 2010/2011 a total of 14 million people were tested. This watershed moment marked a threefold increase from the previous trends. The community-based approach for combating TB incorporated an active case-finding programme to trace people diagnosed with TB, screen their family members and counsel them for HIV in their homes. This campaign reached more than 20 000 families by the end of March 2011. As of January 2013 more than 20 million South Africans know their HIV status and have undergone counselling. The recent Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) 2012 survey revealed that over 2 million people were on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment by mid-2012. This remarkable increase of ARV treatment coverage in the country has had a major impact on the survival of people living with HIV, which was more prominent in the older age groups. The increase in life expectancy for HIV infected people is general across provinces and is due to investments government made in ART treatment. 43 Some facts and figures are derived from the annual reports of the national Department of Health for the Financial Year 2010/2011. 74
