ASCI Projects - HIV/AIDS and Fragile States (Public List)
The general objectives for the research in this thematic cluster include empirically
testing the hypothesis that HIV/AIDS contributes to state fragility at different levels
and investigating the implementation of HIV/AIDS programmes and policies in
countries that are classified as fragile states. Given that there are now sufficient
indicators for state effectiveness and fragility, it is possible to draw very general
lessons about the possible, and demonstrated, relationship between HIV/AIDS and
state fragility. It is likely that such a relationship exists only under certain specific
conditions, and research activities within this cluster will allow for at least a
preliminary specification of those conditions, while also exploring why it is that states
have shown greater-than-expected resilience. In addition, the impact of high-
prevalence HIV/AIDS epidemics on small states, which already have very limited
human resources and capabilities, will receive special attention through targeted
research. The second main exercise of cluster three is to examine how best to design
and implement HIV/AIDS policies and programmes in fragile states.
