- Abstract
"The Government of Indonesia has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide technical assistance (TA) to develop a strategy for HIV and AIDS prevention in infrastructure projects for the Ministry of Public Works (MPW).1 This request followed a dialogue with MPW and the National AIDS Commission (NAC) about the potential spread of HIV through infrastructure projects, especially transportation and road projects. The TA was programmed in connection with the ADB-financed Road Rehabilitation-2 project 2 Consultations with nongovernment HIV and AIDS prevention and other development partners indicated potential risks and shortcomings in current efforts to mitigate these risks. ADB conducted fact-finding in June 2007 and agreed with the Government on the overall TA support and implementation arrangements."
