Intensified efforts are needed in the
Caribbean region if inroads are to be made against the AIDS
epidemic. Although many Caribbean governments have initiated
a limited response to HIV/AIDS, much remains to be done to
bring proven interventions quickly up to nationwide scale.
Moreover there is growing recognition that HIV/AIDS is not
just a serious health issue in developing countries, but a
major developmental catastrophe that threatens to dismantle
the social and economic achievements of the past half
century. The challenge for Caribbean countries is to learn
from the dramatic experiences of some African countries and
act decisively now to prevent the progressive extension of
the epidemic to the general population. This report provides
an overview of the challenges and opportunities in
addressing the problem of HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. It
presents a snapshot of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the region,
offers examples of ways in which Caribbean countries and
regional bodies have responded to the epidemic, discusses
alternative actions for addressing the crisis, and
highlights a range of strategies for donor coordination and
cooperation in the region. Finally, the report identifies
the potential role of the World Bank in addressing the
HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Caribbean. |
