Preventing HIV/AIDS on Road Projects in Yunnan Province. ADB (2003)
Written by Administrator | After discussions with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) requested technical assistance (TA) to implement a prevention program against HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Yunnan Province to help mitigate potential social risks associated with the Western Yunnan Roads Development Project (the Road Project) included in the 2003-2005 Country Strategy and Program for the PRC. The need for such a Program was identified during a mission that visited the road project area in April 2002. Further discussions on the program objectives, scope, cost, terms of reference for service providers, and implementation arrangements were held with the central and provincial governments in October and November 2002. This report is based on the understandings reached with the Government and the ADB missions’ observation in the field. The logical framework for the TA is in Appendix 1. Download this publication |

| Over the last years the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nepal has gained ground, and Nepal has progressed from a “low prevalence” country to one with a so-called concentrated epidemic in certain sub-groups of the population (e.g. sex workers, injecting drug users). For Nepal the window of opportunity is closing fast to effectively address the epidemic. Without mounting a vigorous, broad-based response now, AIDS may become the leading cause of death in the age group 15-49 years over the next ten years. Download this publication |

Policy and Advocacy Efforts for HIV and AIDS Prevention. PATH, AIDS Surveillance and Education Project and USAID (2003)
Written by Administrator | In 1992, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) authorized the AIDS Surveillance and Education Project (ASEP), designed to prevent the rapid increase of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in the Philippines by reducing HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk behaviors and by promoting collaboration between non- governmental organizations (NGOs) and city health departments. ASEP was faced with one primary challenge: mobilizing Filipinos, from the highest levels of politics to the most vulnerable people, to recognize that despite apparently low levels of HIV, Philippines was, and remains, at risk of a rapid spread of HIV. As a low-prevalence country, the Philippines’ challenge is to keep risk perception high even though prevalence is low. Download this publication |
