SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘World Bank AIDS
Prevention Trust Fund Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following:
(1) According to statistics of the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World
Bank), more than 90 percent of all adults and chil-
dren with human immunodeficiency virus/acquired
immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) live in the
developing world—62 percent in Sub-Saharan Afri-
ca, 24 percent in Asia, and 6.9 percent in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
(2) In Africa, the death toll from AIDS has
reached 13,000,000, while 23,000,000 others live
with the disease, and more than 10,000,000 children
have been infected or orphaned by it.
(3) The World Bank, declaring AIDS not just
a public health problem but the ‘‘foremost and fast-
est-growing threat to development’’ in Africa, has
launched a new strategy for HIV/AIDS in Africa,
declaring it a top priority for the Bank on that con-
tinent.
(4) The World Bank estimates that for Africa
alone $1,000,000,000 to $2,300,000,000 annually is
needed for prevention in the region in contrast to
the modest $160,000,000 a year in official assist-
ance currently available for HIV/AIDS in Africa.
(5) AIDS, like all diseases, knows no bound-
aries, and there is no certitiude that the scale of the
Urban Affairs and on Foreign Relations of the Senate a
written report on the trust fund established pursuant to
section 101, the goals of the trust fund, the programs,
projects, and activities, including any vaccination ap-
proaches, supported by the trust fund, and the effective-
ness of such programs, projects, and activities in reducing
the worldwide spread of AIDS.
