Working on the Applied Project is equally challenging and rewarding at the same time. One of the challenges of completing Section 1 of the project is finding the most relevant literatures that would greatly contribute to the development of project. There are thousands of literatures available both online and in library resource, but finding the significant ones is in part challenging because the content needs to be consistent with the objectives of the project. Furthermore, the writing part of the project also encompasses the same challenge in terms of accurately describing the context of the chosen literatures. In an annotated bibliography, it is important to capture as much relevant information as possible about the literature in a short space. This is because such short description should justify the proposition to use the literature in a study and at the same time articulating its usefulness and relevance (Taylor, 2007).
When it comes to better understanding the project, its completion allowed a more precise determination of the probable solution to the prevailing issues regarding HIV. Community-based intervention has long been a subject of debate in the when it comes to efficacy because of the cost and mobilization of resources attributed to its implementation (WHO, 2004). However, the project enabled a clear understanding of community-based intervention in addressing the prevalence of HIV among the ACB communities given the evidence found in the reviewed studies. It is clear at this point that community-based intervention encompasses a greater potential to prevent the spread of the disease through knowledge dissemination, awareness, and the right attitude of the community health sector (Salam et al., 2014). On the other hand, the project still needs further development in order to deliver a more comprehensive insight about the specific role of the community in HIV prevention and treatment. It is apparent that community partnerships would encourage the members of the ACB communities to participate in testing and treatment, but more evidence is needed to articulate the process involve.
