ZARAN works with a number of like-minded organisations to carry out and contribute to the knowledge base on Human Rights and HIV in Zambia. The issues covered touch on legal, policy and other related practices.

The need for research arises from the simple fact that there is need for ZARAN to fully understand HIV and Human Rights interplay for the organisation to fulfil the purpose it serves.

Below are a number of reports that ZARAN has either published or which are in process:

• Research paper on the human rights dimension of the observational trials on Microbicide Gels undertaken in Mazabuka.
