Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study documents the results to which the World Bank's Multi-Country AIDS Program (MAP) financing in Africa has contributed over the last five years ("What has the MAP achieved?"). It uses extensive and detailed data from surveys and national HIV and AIDS programs from 30 MAP countries that are not usually publicly available or captured in routine World Bank reporting systems. It introduces a new Results Scorecard and Framework for better measuring and reporting on results of Bank-financed HIV/AIDS programs in Africa in the future. The book shows that the MAP has dramatically increased access to HIV prevention, care and treatment across Africa. MAP funding has supported children orphaned by AIDS, prevented mother-to-child transmission, helped countries build capacity for scaled up, more effective national responses to HIV and AIDS, including providing treatment. Regional programs are addressing cross-border issues and countries are sharing knowledge and experiences. A unique feature of the MAP is its emphasis on channeling money to communities, grass-roots initiatives, civil-society organizations and NGOs; [ten /fifteen] personal stories from people and groups in Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda offer powerful examples of how the MAP has improved health and lives, reduced stigma, and given new hope to people infected and affected by HIV across the continent.
Download or read book Addressing Youth Within the World Bank s Multi Country HIV AIDS Program MAP written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young people are central in the battle against HIV/AIDS. Each day 5,000-6,000 new infections occur among young people age 15-24, representing half of new infections. The disease disproportionately affects young females; rates of infection among girls in the hardest-hit countries of Africa are 1.3 to 12 times higher than for boys of the same age. Young people are also the best hope for fighting the epidemic; where HIV prevalence has fallen, youth have led the way by delaying sex, reducing partners, and increasing condom use. As one of Africa's largest donors for HIV/AIDS, the World Bank can help ensure that programs to contend with the disease adequately focus on young people. This study, based on six in-depth country case examples, examines the experience of the World Bank in addressing the youth dimension of the HIV/AIDS epidemic through its Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program (MAP) in Africa. The study hopes to provide further guidance to the Bank on improving the effectiveness of its investments in youth and HIV/AIDS programming.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall development objective of the World Bank's Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program (MAP) for the Africa Region is to increase access to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs, with emphasis on vulnerable groups. The specific development objectives of each country project are to be drawn from the national strategic plans. Accordingly, "satisfactory evidence of a strategic approach to HIV/AIDS" is one of four eligibility criteria. This is to be demonstrated by "a coherent, national, multi-sector strategy and action plan for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment that has been developed through a participatory approach using social assessment techniques. It could also be demonstrated by having a participatory strategic planning process underway, with a clear roadmap and timetable" Accordingly, the objective of this review is to assess the extent to which national HIV/AIDS plans represent a strategic approach to addressing the epidemic. Evidence of a strategic approach includes: clear goals; explicit priorities; systematic planning, targets, timeframes, and indicators; clear plans for monitoring and evaluation; clearly specified implementing actors and responsibilities; and cost estimates and strategies for resource mobilization. Additional characteristics of a strategic approach are the extent to which plans are efficient, equitable, relevant, and feasible. National HIV/AIDS strategic plans from 21 of the 23 Sub-Saharan African countries participating in the MAP as of July 2003 are reviewed. Table 1 lists the countries, their populations and GNP per capita, estimated HIV prevalence (given in the plans), and timeframes of the plans. Appendix A1 lists the national strategies reviewed.

Book excerpt: During the past decade, global AIDS donors' attempts to strengthen the health workforce in Africa have been temporary and HIV/AIDS-specific, doing little to address the long-term sustainability and capacity of the workforce to handle all health needs. The policies and practices of the major donors have included varying degrees of support for strengthening human resources in health; most have been directed toward short-term interventions such as in-service training for existing health workers and temporary hiring in nongovernmental organizations or on special contracts in the public sector. Systematic monitoring and reporting of donor's strategies, however, has been scarce. This report fills the void by focusing on the workforce strengthening strategies of three of the major HIV/AIDS donors: the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund), and the World Bank's Africa Multi-country HIV/AIDS Program (the MAP). The report identifies six tasks for donors, national governments, and country stakeholders to undertake to reverse the severe shortage of skilled, motivated, and productive health workers. Each task includes recommendations focused to minimize negative effects of AIDS programs on the health workforce; maximize AIDS programs contributions to health workforce development without compromising AIDS program objectives; and expand the health workforce in the longer term. The bottom line: AIDS donors need to move away from temporary and project-specific interventions and support instead more sustainable and long-term solutions to improve and strengthen Africa's health workforce, which is necessary to achieve national and global health outcomes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This evaluation assesses the development effectiveness of the World Bank's country-level HIV/AIDS assistance defined as policy dialogue, analytic work, and lending with the explicit objective of reducing the scope or impact of the AIDS epidemic. The evaluation identifies findings from this experience and makes recommendations to improve the relevance, efficiency and efficacy of ongoing and future activities. This is the first comprehensive evaluation of the World Bank's HIV/AIDS support to countries, from the beginning of the epidemic through mid-2004. Because the Bank's assistance is for implementation of government programs by government, it provides important insights on how national AIDS programs can be made more effective.

This book was released on 2008-07-22 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We began to research for this book in 2000, with the idea that we might contribute to the search for solutions to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic by c- bining perspectives from different disciplines. Much has happened in the interv- ing years. First, the severity of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa – and the threat it posed for many others regions of the world – led to a movement among several countries to correct the imbalance between producers and users of ph- maceutical products. This effort produced a clarification of the right of gove- ments to produce generic medicine under compulsory licenses and an amendment of the World Trade Organization’s TRIPS Agreement to allow exports of generic medicines from one WTO Member to another. In 2007, the amended rules were put into practice, with Canada authorizing the export of generic antiretroviral drugs to Rwanda. However, at the same time, global patent laws have been undermined due to regulatory capture, most notably in free trade agreements and through political pressure on countries like Thailand to not to exercise their right to issue compulsory licenses for pharmaceutical products. Second, the amount of money available for the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS has increased dramatically, with the establishment of the World Bank Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program for Africa (MAP), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), among other funding initiatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: AIDS has finally reached the top of the African agenda. Two years after the 12th International Conference on AIDS and STDs in Africa ended with an impassioned plea for more resources to fight the pandemic, money is beginning to flow to the continent in significant amounts. The World Bank's Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Programme (MAP) and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria are fuelling the African HIV/AIDS response to new heights. Recent funding commitments by the United States of America, Europe and Japan are inspiring hope of even greater achievements. The drivers of this increasingly powerful machine are Africa's political leaders, civil society and groups of people living with HIV/AIDS. More and more Africans are ringing the alarm bells against AIDS, taking concrete action themselves and demanding more action from others. This report summarizes the challenges Africa faces as it channels new resources into effective programming to confront HIV/AIDS. It also highlights successful initiatives that have inspired hope that the continent can one day free itself of the disease, with or without a vaccine or medical cure. These examples prove that human intervention works, even under the most difficult conditions.

Download or read book Scaling Up Youth Focused Interventions in the Multi Country HIV AIDS Programs and Building Capacity of Civil Society Organizations Case from Zambia written by Weltbank and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zambia is among countries with high HIV/AIDS prevalence, 16 percent among adult population aged 15 to 49 years. Prevalence among urban population is twice that of rural dwellers, 23 percent for urban and 11 percent for rural residents. Like other African countries, youth and women are the groups highly infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. As part of the scaling up effort, the World Bank (WB) commissioned a local consultant to undertake this exercise, focusing mainly on the capacity building needs of youth-serving organizations, civil society organizations, including youth organizations, sectoral ministries working on youth-focused HIV/AIDS initiatives. In this exercise young people and youth organizations were targeted as key sources of information. Specifically, the objectives of the assessment are: a) assess the current state of programming for youth-focused HIV activities in the country; b) determine the level of funding for youth-focused activities and effectiveness of youth-focused activities within the Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Programs (MAP) and other major HIV programs; c) identify factors that may foster or hinder attention to youth in the MAP and other HIV interventions; d) define priority capacity building needs among Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) working mainly on youth-focused HIV/AIDS interventions; and e) identify potential implementing partners who will carry out capacity building activities. There is increasing recognition of the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS among youths and for this reason, there is growing consensus that youths must be made key players and equal participants in the fight against the pandemic. National policies and programmes are now paying attention to and recognising the critical role of youths in the national response to the HIV/AIDS situation.
