Summary:   We work with countries and other partners to prevent new infections, expand access to treatment and care, and help families and communities cope with the social and economic effects of HIV and AIDS. We do this through concessional lending and grants, technical support, analysis and policy dialogue.
 
Description:  

The World Bank's Global HIV/AIDS Program of Action emphasizes five priority action areas, in keeping with our commitment to the "Three Ones" principles of one national strategic plan, one national coordinating authority and one national monitoring and evaluation system in each country.

The interrelated action areas are:

1. support for strengthening national HIV/AIDS strategies to be more prioritized and evidence-driven, and better integrated with national planning processes;

2. sustained funding for national and regional HIV/AIDS programs and for strengthening health systems;

3. accelerating implementation of national program plans;

4. strengthening country monitoring and evaluation systems and capacity to collect, analyze and use data; and

5. generating and sharing knowledge, through evaluations and other analytic work to deepen the impact of programs.

We are a founding co-sponsor of UNAIDS-the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, and serve on the Board of Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. We are fully engaged in efforts by the global development community to make our support more effective in scaling up access to prevention, care and treatment.
