Outline • Why a new Africa HIV/AIDS Agenda for Action? • What is the new “HIV/AIDS Agenda for Action”? • What are the Bank’s comparative advantage and value-added? • What guidance do we need from the decision meeting?
Why A New Agenda for Action? • Epidemic has changed • More financial resources, but great need to ensure resources are used effectively and efficiently • Unfinished multisectoral agenda • Country needs have changed • Bank must continue to learn how to address epidemics

What Our Partners Want From Us • Macro and micro-economic analysis (impact of HIV/AIDS) • Financing gaps: prevention, especially interventions for populations at risk • Capacity building • Predictable, sustainable and flexible funding • Major/only funding for some countries • Focus on fiduciary aspects, governance and accountability • Reaching communities • Multi-sectoral approach
Bottom line HIV/AIDS undermines the Bank’s Poverty Reduction mission and achievement of the MDGs • We need to build on results achieved thus far • Epidemic resurgence in Uganda reflects declining prevention efforts • Mainstreaming HIV/AIDS in key sectors is an unfinished agenda • Uniquely positioned to put HIV/AIDS on the development agenda • Respond to the changing global AID architecture
Strategic Pillars • Foundation of the four strategic pillars is to Renew the Bank’s commitment • Pillar 1: Focus the response through evidence based and prioritized national HIV/AIDS strategies • Pillar 2: Scale-up targeted multi-sectoral and civil society response • Pillar 3: Deliver effective results through increased country M&E capacity • Pillar 4: Harmonize donor collaboration
