Confronting AIDS in the Developing World: A Report to Congress on the USAIDProgram for Prevention and Control of HIV Infection

摘要

This report outlines the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID's)past, ongoing, and plans for future responses to the threat of HIV/AIDS worldwide. An initial section presents an overview of the disease's prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean and the manner in which it has contributed to the deterioration of the regions' economic and social bases. A second section discusses USAID's cooperative efforts with the World Health Organization (WHO)/Global Program on AIDS (GPA) as well as its bilateral assistance program. A third section contains examples of USAID successes. A final section previews future USAID-sponsored HIV/AID interventions. Two appendices are included. The first contains a sampling of USAID-funded projects in 19 countries within Africa, Asia, and Latin American and the Caribbean. A second charts USAID funding obligations for HIV/AIDS prevention activities for FY 1991.
