Product Description
Product Description
The World Bank began emergency operations in Sub-Saharan Africa for HIV/AIDS in 2000, committing more than $1.6 billion in resources over the next eight years. By 2006 it became clear to Bank leadership that much had changed in the global response to HIV/AIDS, that countries and partners had entered a new phase, and that the Bank needed to rethink its approach and adjust to the new environment on the ground, which included technological and financial changes. A new approach was formulated and published in 2008 as The World Bank's Commitment to HIV/AIDS in Africa: Our Agenda for Action, 2007-2011. The Agenda for Action was based on an extensive consultative and analytical process, which produced a wide range of background analytical papers, many of which are collected in this volume. In The Changing HIV/AIDS Landscape: Selected Papers for the World Bank's Agenda for Action in Africa, 2007-2011, World Bank specialists and other experts analyse aspects of the HIV challenge. Topics covered include better understanding of the epidemiological realities based on more reliable estimates and methodology; promising ways to address prevention, treatment, monitoring, and evaluation; analysis of theoretical and empirical links between HIV/AIDS and economic development; considerations of financial sustainability and economic policy; roles of the private sector and communities; and health systems aspects, including human resources for health, the links among HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health, tuberculosis, and nutrition, and the importance of supply chain management. A simulation model of likely impact and effectiveness of various responses extending to 2011 completes the presentations. The Changing HIV/AIDS Landscape is designed to contribute to the knowledge base of policy makers, program managers, researchers, stakeholders, and practitioners engaged in combating HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa.
