In response, the government and the Joint Donors -- the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAid), the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the World Bank -- embarked on a Human Development Review to suggest options for improving human development outcomes and government expenditure efficiency. In this review of strategy options for health, HIV/AIDS, and education, it is argued that human development sectors are at an important crossroad with a large unfinished agenda and a range of critical challenges.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOHospitalhospitalsHuman DevelopmentHuman Resource DevelopmentimmunizationImmunodeficiencyInfantInfant MortalityInfant Mortality Rateinfant mortality ratesinfectious diseasesinformation systemInternational Cooperationisolationlabor forcelabor marketleading causesleading causes of deathlegal statuslevel of povertylevels of educationlife expectancylive birthsliving standardslocal communitiesLow-Income CountriesLow-Income CountryMalariamanagement systemsmandatesmass mediamaternal mortalitymaternal mortality ratesMedical ResearchMillennium Development GoalsMinistry of EducationMinistry of HealthMortalityMotherMother-to-ChildMother-to-Child Transmissionmultiple partnersNational AIDSnational governmentnational levelnational policiesnational policynational prioritiesnursespolicy developmentpolicy dialoguePolicy documentpolicy makersPoliopolitical instabilitypoor healthpopulation growth ratepoverty reductionpoverty reduction strategiespractitionersPrevention Interventionsprevention strategiesprimary health careprimary health servicesprimary schoolPrivate SectorPrivate Sector Involvementprogressprovincial hospitalsprovision of servicesPublic healthPublic investmentspublic servicequality educationquality of educationquality of servicesquality servicesrapid population growthRecurrent ExpenditureRecurrent ExpendituresReproductive HealthReproductive Health Careresource allocationresource constraintsrespectRisk Groupsrisky behaviorrural areasRural Developmentrural populationrural welfaresafe waterschool childrenschool levelssecondary educationsecondary schoolsecondary schoolsSectoral Planssectoral prioritiesService Deliveryservice provisionset of recommendationsSexSex with Mensex workerssexual behaviorsexual intercoursesexual partnerssexual violencesexualitysexually activeSexually Transmitted InfectionsSkills Developmentsocial controlsocial marketingsocial marketing of condomsSocial Sectorsocial sectorsSTIsTeacher Ratiotechnical assistancetechnical educationTertiary EducationTetanusTotal ExpendituresTraditional Birth AttendantTuberculosisUNFPAUnited Nations Population FundUniversal Basic EducationUniversal Primary Educationunprotected sexurban areasurbanizationuse of condomsviolenceviolence against womenVocational Educationvocational trainingVoluntary TestingworkersWorkforceWorld Health Organizationyoung childrenWorld Bank10.1596/13543
