This literature review on HIV/AIDS and education in Nigeria was undertaken in preparation for a regional workshop on the "Education Research Response to HIV/AIDS" which took place in Bamako, Mali in June 2004. The aim of the workshop is to identify research gaps and develop the framework for a trans-national study on HIV/AIDS and education in selected Education Research Network for West and Central Africa (ERNWACA) member countries. The documents reviewed were collected mainly in Lagos and Abuja (Nigeria) from various government agencies and ministries, non-governmental agencies (NGOs), donor agencies, and individual researchers working on HIV/AIDS. Additional information was sourced from the Internet. Although a reasonable amount of does literature exist on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, relatively little deals specifically with education.
