DEVELOPMENT: Zambia (MRB Nov 2001): AIDS loan on hold.
Zambia has failed to agree a $42 million loan package with the World Bank to fight AIDS. The deal should have been sealed in October when a World Bank mission toured Zambia but the mission left without an agreement because health and finance ministry officials were unavailable for crucial talks. The World Bank package included a $6 million component for AIDS drug cocktails. One in five adult Zambians have AIDS or HIV.
As part of the loan deal, Parliament should have enacted a law criminalising the deliberate transmission of AIDS, created a national AIDS council, and transferred AIDS drugs procurement to the vice presidency from the Health Ministry.
However, parliament has been dissolved and Zambia is in election mode, so it is unlikely that the subject will be discussed again until after the first quarter of next year
