June, 1998, World Bank Discussion Paper No. 389. (Abstract and full paper in PDF format.)
The AIDS epidemic is one of the greatest development challenges of the 20th century. Since
1986, the World Bank has supported member countries' efforts to fight the epidemic in many
ways including committing over US$550 million to HIV/AIDS prevention and mitigation
efforts. This paper, the first comprehensive study of all World Bank HIV/AIDS-related
activities, assesses the appropriateness of Bank interventions from the perspective of
public economies and reviews the economic evaluation and implementation of projects.

- Paper by Mead Over, World Bank: The Macroeconomic Impact of AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, June,
1992. (Abstract and full paper in PDF format.) The earliest conjectures regarding the
impact of the AIDS epidemic in severely affected countries presumed that the disease would
cause substantial declines in such conventional measures of macro-economic performance as
the growth of GNP per capita. This paper written in 1992, together with other papers that
are cited in Chapter 1 of "Confronting AIDS," were the first to provide detailed
calculations of the probable magnitude of these impacts. Now that some countries have in
fact attained the 21% adult prevalence rate that was hypothesized in this paper, its
projections are particularly relevant. Whether they are accurate is more difficult to
determine. However, the continued macro-economic growth of such severely affected
countries as Uganda and Botswana, despite serious AIDS epidemics, seems to support the
predictions of this paper that the impact of the epidemic on per capita GNP growth will be
small. The possibility remains that profound, cumulative "disruption effects" of
the epidemic not modeled in these papers will manifest themselves in the coming years.
