Summary
This article summarizes recent research by Gender Action presented in a groundbreaking report investigating multilateral development banks’ (MDBs’) spending on Reproductive health and HIV and AIDS. Gender Action demonstrates a decline in World Bank loans and grants for reproductive health and HIV and AIDS, and little contribution for these issues from the African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank, or Inter-American Development Bank. Mapping also charts unmet MDB commitments to reproductive health and HIV and AIDS, and harmful loan conditions such as restricting public spending, which undermine poor countries’ ability to address these key public-health issues. Mapping provides important evidence for conducting advocacy to improve MDB performance on achieving reproductive health, HIV/AIDS and other Millennium Development Goals. Gender Action is following up with deeper research and advocacy.
