- Abstract
"This paper is one of six working papers providing background for a major report on how the World Bank would contribute to policy formulation, advocacy and programming related to the HIV epidemic in East Asia and Pacific (EAP). The objective of this paper is to review past and current activities that the Bank has undertaken in order to consider what future contributions the Bank could make. The paper seeks to assess the scope, focus, and strategy adopted by the Bank thus far in its HIV/AIDS work in EAP. By drawing on lessons learned, the paper aims to recommend directions for the Bank in furthering the HIV/AIDS prevention and care agenda in EAP."
