Private Sector Engagement in HIV/AIDS What will it take?
B-SPAN Fighting the epidemic of HIV/AIDS requires involvement of many key sectors of society, including partnerships with the private and public sectors, civil society and individual consumers.
Legal Aspects of HIV/AIDS
B-SPAN Welcome to the Best of BSPAN. When you think about fighting HIV/AIDS, what comes to mind? Retroviral medicine? Condom distribution? Health education? Maybe. But in this presentation, Georgetown University professor Lawrence Gostin points out that law and ethics can also play an important role in encouraging good practice and health policy.
Enhancing Chinas Competitiveness Through Lifelong Learning
B-SPAN Chinas economy is growing at a tremendous and unprecedented speed, and constant adaptation and innovative problem solving are necessary to successfully face the challenges that result from such change. One of the greatest challenges, and one for which such adaptation is so crucial for continued economic success, is education. The book Enhancing Chinas Competitiveness Through Lifelong Learning, which was launched at World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC, on September 17, explained how the educational system must be reformed for China to remain competitive in todays knowledge economy.
Legal Aspects of HIV and AIDS
B-SPAN Although we might not always consider it, a well developed and appropriate legal framework is a very necessary component in the fight against HIV/AIDS. On September 12, 2007, the authors of the report Legal Aspects for HIV and AIDS A Guide for Policy and Law Reform came together at the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC, to present and discuss the role of law in the fight against this devastating pandemic.
Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries
B-SPAN Now in its second edition, the Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (DCP2) gathers the work of more than 350 specialists into one volume on the strategies, successes, and systems of health care intervention. In this presentation on September 12, 2006, sponsored by the World Bank InfoShop, experts in the field discussed the books recommendations and the future of disease control. The session was chaired by Jacques Baudouy, Director of Health, Nutrition, and Population for the World Bank at the Banks headquarters in Washington, DC.
09. Responding to HIV/AIDS
B-SPAN On June 19, 2006, the Sustainable Community Development Fund (CommDev) hosted a daylong conference at the IFC Building on Washington, D.C., to discuss Sharing Experience Enhancing the Benefits to Communities from Extractive Industry Projects. The conference aimed at sharing experiences, conducting training, and raising awareness of the community development work being implemented in communities impacted by extractive industries. In this afternoon breakout session, chaired by Gillette Conner, Program Officer for IFC Against AIDS, event participants responded to health issues – with a particular focus on HIV/AIDS – in extractive industry communities.
