Abstract
In 2001 the World Bank (WB) launched the
HIV/AIDS Program Development Project (Project I: $90
million) as part of its Multi-Country AIDS Program for
Africa (MAP I). The objective of the project is to assist
Nigeria to reduce the spread, and mitigate the impact, of
HIV infection by strengthening the multi-sectoral response
to the epidemic through a comprehensive program that
includes the creation of an enabling environment for a large
scale response, and laying the foundation for scaling up
HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services at the
federal, state and local levels. The Nigeria HIV/AIDS
Program Development Project aims at achieving the following;
capacity building of the National Action Committee on AIDS
(NACA) and also at the State and Local Government levels
(SACAs, LACAs),expanding public sector response to
HIV/AIDS in ministries at Federal and State level,
establishing an HIV AIDS Fund (HAF) for support to the
community through CBOs, NGOs, etc.
