World Bank HIV/AIDS projects
A list of HIV/AIDS projects approved since 1990, including projects in other sectors with significant HIV/AIDS components. (Most–but not all–projects “under preparation” are likely to be approved.) Click on a project name to access basic project information and documents, including the “Project Appraisal Document” (PAD) describing the project rationale, goals, planned activities and financing.

Explanation of search results: The list is generated by searching the World Bank project database for those projects classified under the “theme” HIV/AIDS. All Bank projects are classified by one to five themes, to capture project goals and objectives. The list excludes an early AIDS project in Zaire (1988-94) and projects with AIDS components in Uganda (1990-95), Rwanda (1991-02) and Bulgaria(1996-01), which together provided a total of US$14.3 million.


General Information on World Bank projects and operations: Projects are where the rubber meets the road - where countries translate their poverty-reduction goals into concrete action. Before projects are launched, countries develop broad Strategies to reduce poverty and promote economic development.

The Project Cycle traces the process of individual projects - identifying, financing, implementing, and evaluating. Financing Instruments discusses the various tools by which the Bank supports developing countries' poverty-reduction and economic development projects.

Policies & Procedures describes rules that ensure that projects are economically, financially, socially, and environmentally sound. Measuring Results details the ways the Bank evaluates projects.

The Inspection Panel is an independent fact-finding body which objectively investigates complaints from affected people who believe they have suffered harm from a World Bank financed project.
