Doomed interventions : the failure of global responses to AIDS in Africa
Between 2002 and 2013 bilateral donors spent over $64 billion on AIDS intervention in low- and middle-income countries. During the same period, nearly 25 million people died of AIDS and more than 32 million were newly infected with HIV. In this book for students of political economy and public policy in Africa, as well as of global health, Kim Yi Dionne tries to understand why AIDS interventions in Africa often fail. The fight against AIDS requires the coordination of multiple actors across borders and levels of governance in highly affected countries, and these actors can be the primary sources of the problem. -- From inside cover.

Killing with Kindness
After Haiti's 2010 earthquake, over half of U.S. households donated to thousands of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in that country. Yet we continue to hear stories of misery from Haiti. Why have NGOs failed at their mission?Set in Haiti during the 2004 coup and aftermath and enhanced by research conducted after the 2010 earthquake,Killing with Kindnessanalyzes the impact of official development aid on recipient NGOs and their relationships with local communities. Written like a detective story, the book offers rich enthnographic comparisons of two Haitian women's NGOs working in HIV/AIDS prevention, one with public funding (including USAID), the other with private European NGO partners. Mark Schuller looks at participation and autonomy, analyzing donor policies that inhibit these goals. He focuses on NGOs' roles as intermediaries in \"gluing\" the contemporary world system together and shows how power works within the aid system as these intermediaries impose interpretations of unclear mandates down the chain-a process Schuller calls \"trickle-down imperialism.\"

PEPFAR Implementation
In 2003, Congress passed the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act, which established a 5-year, $15 billion initiative to help countries around the world respond to their AIDS epidemics. The initiative is generally referred to by the title of the 5-year strategy required by the act-PEPFAR, or the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief.
PEPFAR Implementation evaluates this initiative's progress and concludes that although PEPFAR has made a promising start, U.S. leadership is still needed in the effort to respond to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The book recommends that the program transition from its focus on emergency relief to an emphasis on the long-term strategic planning and capacity building necessary for a sustainable response. PEPFAR Implementation will be of interest to policy makers, health care professionals, special interest groups, and others interested in global AIDS relief.

Walking Together, Walking Far
A remarkable partnership between the Indiana University School of
Medicine and the Moi University School of Medicine in Kenya has built one of the
most comprehensive and successful programs in the world to control HIV/AIDS. Calling
upon the resources of the Americans, the ingenuity of the Kenyans, and their shared
determination to care for patients who had been given up for dead, the program has
been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and described as a miracle by the U.S.
ambassador to Kenya. Doctors from Kenya and the United States -- employing methods
once considered unfeasible, such as successfully administered antiretroviral regimes
-- have created a model program for saving lives and empowering the sick and
impoverished. Against formidable odds, these partners demonstrate how medicine and
caring can overturn preconceived notions about Africa and help wipe out the world's
most devastating pandemic.
