agencies were established throughout all regions of Uganda. Anti-AIDS
organizations founded among local communities make up 21.9% of these many
agencies; 17.1% of the HIV/AIDS agencies are government-based, 17.2% are NGOs,
and 16.2% are faith based organizations.19 The early decentralization of the political
environment in Uganda clearly assisted in the creation of so many diverse
HIV/AIDS combating agencies throughout the country.
The Ugandan government and its subsequent multisectoral program provides
one of the most successful HIV/AIDS elimination stories to date, and they built on
this progress by adopting the MAP. Uganda was granted $47.5 million from the
World Bank’s lending arm, the International Development Association (IDA), in
2001 and with it has managed to scale up technical support, materials, expanding
services and reducing stigma. “Of the total project financing . . . 38% was channeled
directly to support the local response: $8.5 million to 233 district-based departments,
NGOs, and community-based organizations, and $12.5 million to 3,629 community-led
HIV and AIDS initiatives (CHAIs)” (Gorgens-Albino 2007:76). These MAP
funds have financed a wide range of materials including mattresses, school supplies,
and support services to those in need. The CHAIs are said to be a novel approach as
they disburse funds directly to communities that implement initiatives directed
towards their specific groups. This allows precise needs of those in the community
to be directly met.

| 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. |
