Book Synopsis The Political Economy of AIDS in Africa by : Nana K. Poku
Download or read book The Political Economy of AIDS in Africa written by Nana K. Poku and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-Saharan Africa is a region devastated by HIV/AIDS. The extent of the epidemic is only now becoming clear, as increasing numbers of people with HIV are becoming ill. In the absence of massively expanded prevention, treatment and care efforts, the AIDS death toll on the continent is set to escalate rapidly. Despite progress being achieved in localized settings, the alarming statistics reflect the continuing failure of advanced countries to mount a response that matches the scale and severity of the African HIV/AIDS crisis. Over and above the colossal personal suffering, the dire social and economic consequences for fragile nation-states are already being felt, not only in health but in education, industry, agriculture, transport, human resources and economies in general. Countries already crippled by drought, poverty, debt, forced migration and civil war must now contend with massive deterioration in child survival rates and life expectancy, the erosion of the economic family base, massive and insupportable demands on health and public services, chronic labour shortages and volatile national security. Through a critical and detailed exploration of specific case studies, this invaluable volume brings together an unparalleled array of international contributors to redefine the political and economic contours of this calamitous epidemic. It examines the impact of the shortfalls in the 'Global Fund' allocation, the slow pace of administrative processing of aid and the weaknesses of institutional responses to the crisis from African countries and their partners in the global health community. It is essential reading for all concerned with public health, epidemiology, HIV/AIDS research, globalization, development, Africa and indeed our shared future. Features include: ” Unique assessments of HIV/AIDS and its impact on democracy and governance in African states ” Wide-ranging regional and country studies by the foremost thinkers in their fields ” Multi-disciplinary contributions from areas including: Politics, Sociology, Public Health and Development Studies ” Compelling and convincing evidence, thematic in approach ” Innovative and culturally specific insights for long-term planning, care and support

Download or read book AIDS and Power written by Alex de Waal and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One in six adults in sub-Saharan Africa will die in their prime of AIDS. It is a stunning cataclysm, plunging life expectancy to pre-modern levels and orphaning millions of children. Yet political trauma does not grip Africa. People living with AIDS are not rioting in the streets or overthrowing governments. In fact, democratic governance is spreading. Contrary to fearful predictions, the social fabric is not being ripped apart by bands of unsocialized orphan children. AIDS and Power explains why social and political life in Africa goes on in a remarkably normal way, and how political leaders have successfully managed the AIDS epidemic so as to overcome any threats to their power. Partly because of pervasive denial, AIDS is not a political priority for electorates, and therefore not for democratic leaders either. AIDS activists have not directly challenged the political order, instead using international networks to promote a rights-based approach to tackling the epidemic. African political systems have proven resilient in the face of AIDS's stresses, and rulers have learned to co-opt international AIDS efforts to their own political ends. In contrast with these successes, African governments and international agencies have a sorry record of tackling the epidemic itself. AIDS and Power concludes without political incentives for HIV prevention, this failure will persist.

Book Synopsis Global Health by : United States. General Accounting Office

Book excerpt: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is the leading cause of death in the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, where more than two-thirds of the people who are infected with HIV live. Despite efforts by the international community to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, the National Intelligence Council estimates 1 that as many as one-quarter of the population of the hardest-hit countries in that region will die from AIDS over the next 10 years. Further, given the scale of the epidemic, AIDS has grown beyond a public health problem to become a humanitarian and developmental crisis. For example, the National Intelligence Council concluded that the persistence of infectious diseases, such as HIV/AIDS, is likely to aggravate and in some cases provoke economic decline, social fragmentation, and political destabilization. In addition, the Council found that the epidemic threatens to weaken the military capabilities of countries and because of the involvement of sub-Saharan African troops in international peacekeeping efforts it could hinder those activities as well. Since the 1980s, the U.S. Agency for International Development has provided assistance to help fight AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.

Download or read book Uganda's AIDS Crisis written by Jill Armstrong and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines the economic problems that arise when governments own and operate enterprises that could be managed by the private sector. Despite more than a decade of divestiture, state-owned enterprises account for nearly as large a share of developing countries' economies today as twenty years ago. This report examines the economic problems that arise when governments own and operate enterprises that could be managed by the private sector. It finds that such enterprises are often inefficient and shows how the resulting losses to the economy hinder growth, making it harder for people to escape poverty. Why have reforms had such little impact? In an innovative study of the political economy of state enterprise reform, the report describes common obstacles to reform and describes ways that some countries have overcome them. Drawing on a rich database and detailed country case studies, the report provides the most comprehensive assessment yet of a decade of divestiture and reform of state-owned enterprises. It evaluates the experiences of 12 countries: some of these countries reformed successfully and some did not, but all tried to improve the incentive structure by changing the contract between the government and state- owned firms. The report offers guidance for successful reform and suggests ways that foreign assistance can more effectively support reform efforts. The countries covered in the case studies are Chile, China, Czech Republic, Egypt, Ghana, India, Republic of Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Senegal, and Turkey.

Book Synopsis Children and AIDS by : Margaret Lombe
Download or read book Children and AIDS written by Margaret Lombe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disproportional loss of individuals to HIV/AIDS in their most productive years raises concerns over the welfare of surviving members of affected families and communities. One consequence of the rapid increase in adult mortality is the rise in the proportion of children who are orphaned. Sub-Saharan Africa, accounts for about 90 percent of these. Mainly due to the staggering toll of HIV/AIDS, research effort has focused on treatment and prevention. Children have received attention primarily in relation to 'mother to child transmission' and paediatric AIDS. These issues are important and compelling but fail to capture the whole story - the unprecedented surge in the number of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. In this book we reflect on the plight of children classified as vulnerable, review interventions implemented to improve their welfare and grapple with the concept of vulnerability as it relates to human rights and the African child.
