WASHINGTON- The following project was approved today by the World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors:
IDA GRANT AMOUNT: $20 million
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The objective of this project is to step up the fight against HIV/AIDS in the six countries of the Great Lakes region— Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda—which are home to more than six million people living with HIV/AIDS, and more than three million children orphaned or made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. This new project will finance prevention, care, and treatment, programs for large numbers of refugees, migrant and transport workers, highly infected groups, and others which move between the five Great Lakes countries, with a strong emphasis on coordinating a regional, cross-border response to combating the disease.
