The Global Development Meetup on Thursday, May 8th, featured Steve Rosenzweig, Program Coordinator for the HIV/AIDS Monitor at CGD, who discussed his recent trip to Uganda, where he coordinated a workshop with the Monitor's African research partners from Mozambique, Zambia, and Uganda to wrap up their first phase of research and lay the groundwork for the next phase of research on the policies and practices of PEPFAR, the Global Fund, and the World Bank Multi-Country HIV/AIDS Program in these three countries.
Rosenzweig discussed the HIV/AIDS Monitor's next phase of research, which includes three studies on 1) how the donors are addressing issues of gender in their programs, 2) the effect of donor programs on the labor market for health workers in recipient countries, and 3) how donors are or are not integrating HIV/AIDS programs with reproductive health and family planning programs. The studies aim to analyze how donor programs are operating on the ground and make recommendations based on the analysis to improve their effectiveness.
