“In Ghana, the MAP is reported to have improved partnerships between
Muslims and Christians who support vulnerable, infected, and affected
persons in the community” (Gorgens-Albino et al.: 44).
“The Rwanda national police force has created eight anti-AIDS clubs with 30
members each, integrated HIV activities into the police’s national strategic
plan, and provided access to treatment and care to HIV-positive police force
members and spouses” (Gorgens-Albino et al.: 45).
“In Tanzania, all eligible civil society organizations were trained in proposal
writing, project management, and reporting” (Gorgens-Albino et al.: 47).
“In Sierra Leone, the district councils were empowered and procedures were
laid down for training and engagement of the community-based
organizations” (Gorgens-Albino et al.: 47).
“In Angola, it was reported that ‘focal support teams have been created and
trained in seven priority Government Ministries, i.e. Education, Interior,
Youth, Family, Social Assistance, Labour and Health,’ and 250 NGOs were
trained in service provision” (Gorgens-Albino et al.: 47).
“One Zambian district commissioner remarked that ‘income-generating
activities have made a very big difference. Before we were funded by the
MAP, other funders just used to give us food to give to our clients. When the
food ran out we had nothing to give our clients. Now we have this hammer
mill from MAP as an income-generating activity, so we always have some
income and food for our clients’” (Gorgens-Albino et al.:58).

| Abstract | The proposed dissertation offers an explanation for the large differences in HIV/AIDS rates among 89 low and middle-income countries throughout the Sub Saharan African, Asian, and Latin American regions over a ten-year period (1995-2005). The HIV/AIDS rates in these countries vary widely and seemingly independently of economic wealth. One possible determinant of these differences is the presence and degree of development of strong multisectoral programs aimed at both prevention and cure of HIV/AIDS. The main hypothesis for this dissertation is: "A country's success in combating HIV/AIDS lies in the government's ability to implement an effective multisectoral program." This hypothesis is explored through quantitative models using data from the ten-year period (1995-2005). Results show that the presence of a multisectoral program over the ten-year period is associated with a significantly lower HIV/AIDS incidence rate by 2005. This effect is produced by controlling for various political, economic, societal, and institutional factors. Although there is some anecdotal evidence which suggests that multisectoral programs help to improve the HIV/AIDS problem in developing countries, there has been little if any empirical work done on this subject to date. |
