Applying India’s business skills to improve public health outcomes

Applying India’s business skills to improve public health outcomes

The Avahan program applies India’s outstanding management and business expertise to a difficult public health challenge: preventing new HIV infections among the highest risk groups where most new infections occur. This note describes how Avahan's clearly focused goals, strong drive for results, carefully chosen extensive partnerships, and intensive use of data to monitor, manage and enhance performance enabled a remarkably fast and extensive scale-up that is achieving good outcomes.

The World Bank has long been a close partner with India in responding to HIV and AIDS, with three loans to support India’s national AIDS Program, and extensive analytical work to understand the epidemic and its impact. The World Bank’s direct link with Avahan is through David Wilson (of our Global HIV/AIDS Program) serving on the Avahan technical advisory board. This note is part of the Bank’s efforts to understand how to achieve better results in HIV prevention, and to work with countries and other partners to "make the money work" through more effective HIV/AIDS responses.
