Republic of Indonesia: support for HIV and AIDS prevention in infrastructure (pdf 80kb)

The Government of Indonesia has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provide technical assistance (TA) to develop a strategy for HIV and AIDS prevention in infrastructure projects for the Ministry of Public Works.

This request followed a dialogue with MPW and the National AIDS Commission (NAC) about the potential spread of HIV through infrastructure projects, especially transportation and road projects.

Issues highlighted to be of significant importance include:
- The increase in incidence of HIV in Indonesia
- The evolving nature of the pandemic
- The well-known phenomenon of the link between mobility and HIV/AIDS
- The need to mainstream HIV/AIDS prevention policies
