The Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV)/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) pandemic
burdens Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and continues to constrain
its social and economic advancement. Joint United Nations
Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) has estimated that in southern
Africa alone, 930,000 adults and children died of AIDS in
2005. This represents about one-third of AIDS deaths
recorded globally that year. In addition, about 12 million
children below the age of 17 in SSA are estimated to have
lost one or both parents to AIDS. Africa Technical Transport
Sector Unit (AFTTR) has made progress in mainstreaming
HIV/AIDS in its portfolio. However, there is still more work
ahead in ensuring that all projects are mainstreamed as
needed. In this context, the transport sector board needs to
continue supporting such future mainstreaming efforts by
establishing a sector board strategy for HIV/AIDS activities
on Bank-financed transport projects. The diverse nature of
transportation activities implies that mainstreaming is both
challenging and urgent. In 2000, the Africa transport team
gave high priority to its contribution to the campaign
against the HIV/AIDS pandemic and pledged to mainstream
HIV/AIDS actions in the Bank's lending operations and
at country level in the transport sector. The transport
sector contributed significantly through integrating simple
