- Abstract
"From October 2007 to April 2008, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) conducted a five-country assessment, from a gender perspective, of the impact of selected transport projects on the spread of HIV. The assessment consisted of a desk review of ADB and government policies and regulatory frameworks in relation to HIV and to gender. Field work was carried out in selected project sites in five countries—Cambodia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), India, Papua New Guinea (PNG), and Tajikistan. Over 370 interviews and group discussions were conducted with representatives of ministries of health, public works, transport, infrastructure, and women’s affairs; nongovernment organizations (NGOs) and other civil society actors; and construction workers, sex workers, villagers, youth, and people living with HIV."
