This issue reviews seven of the twelve papers from the recently published special issue in the African Journal of AIDS Research on resilience and coping strategies of HIV-affected children in sub-Saharan Africa. These qualitative studies show a neglected perspective on the suffering and hardship experienced by children affected by HIV and AIDS in the region, highlighting the ways in which children can participate actively in addressing and improving the difficult challenges they face. Despite serious methodological shortcomings in some of the studies, the papers as a whole argue that resilience shown by children is the outcome of both their agency and active participation, as well as support they receive in their social environments.
