Senegal: Leaders mobilize against HIV/AIDS

Leaders in Senegal - from government and business to the arts and media - are embarking on initiatives against HIV/AIDS to reinforce the country's success in limiting the spread of the deadly disease. These activities began to take shape at a workshop earlier this year in which eight ministers learned the need for emotional intelligence - traits such as empathy, motivation, persistence, warmth and social skills - vital for effective interpersonal relations and leadership in dealing with the epidemic.
