Team for Africa, WB

invite you to a discussion on

The World Bank's Commitment to HIV/AIDS in Africa
Our Agenda for Action, 2007-2011
This important work updates and refocuses the World Bank?s response to assist
countries to achieve the sixth Millennium Development Goal: to help halt and
begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS. This Agenda for Action is a road map

its initial emergency response to how it will contribute to a long-term,
sustainable, multi-partner response.

The book is the result of an extensive analytical and consultative process that
included over 30 African partner countries and a wide range of external partners
from U.N. agencies, multilateral and bilateral donors, community, faith-based
and civil society organizations, research institutes, universities, the private
sector, labor unions and youth, local and national governments, and people
living with HIV/AIDS.
