【 摘 要 】

This evaluation assesses the developmenteffectiveness of the World Bank's country-levelHIV/AIDS assistance defined as policy dialogue, analyticwork, and lending with the explicit objective of reducingthe scope or impact of the AIDS epidemic. This is the firstcomprehensive evaluation of the World Bank's HIV/AIDSsupport to countries, from the beginning of the epidemicthrough mid-2004.
