Abstract:

Strengthening of national responses through inter-country initiatives for reducing vulnerability and risks associated with HIV/AIDS in the context of population mobility. The Inter-Country Team, with the support of the World Bank, has since 1996 concentrated its efforts on issues related to population mobility in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In this respect, it supports the development of technical resources networks and research-actions; it manages an electronic network for exchange of information and discussions; it also supports interventions on areas, routes and sites where populations interact with each other with a view to reducing incidents of HIV/AIDS among the populations concerned, and thereby reduce the effects of the epidemic. Development of partnerships between governments, implementing agencies, NGOs and all the actors concerned, such as transport unions, was retained as an essential strategy for reducing risks and vulnerability associated with HIV/AIDS among mobile, migrant and displaced populations.
