SSATP Technical Note No. 35
This note summarizes challenges, responses and lessons learned by two World Bank supported projects addressing HIV/AIDS in the road sector. These are: The Joint Regional HIV/AIDS Project in the Abidjan Lagos Transport Corridor (Corridor Project) and the Ethiopia Road Sector Development Program (RSDP). While the Corridor Project is regional and addresses HIV/AIDS on the road between Abidjan and Lagos, the RSDP is a country specific road construction program with an HIV/AIDS component. The report shows the similarities and variations as well as valuable lessons gleaned from the two projects.
