Mapping Multilateral Development Banks’ Reproductive Health and HIV/AIDS Spending

Suzanna Dennis and Elaine Zuckerman
June 2007

This first report to determine the quantity and quality of all MDB spending for reproductive health and HIV/AIDS demonstrates a decline in World Bank funding for these sectors in recent years and very little spending by the African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, and Inter-American Development Bank on these themes. It charts mostly unmet IFI commitments to reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, and juxtaposes how harmful IFI loan conditionalities such as restricting public spending undermine governments’ ability to address these public health imperatives.
