World Bank Discussion Paper No. 298. Traces the social and economic channels through which the AIDS epidemic is likely to have its impact on Uganda's development prospects. In 1988 the World Bank adopted an agenda for addressing the AIDS epidemic in Africa. It soon became evident that the syndrome is not solely a health problem, nor can it be treated as such. This paper traces the social and economic channels through which AIDS is likely to have its impact on the development prospects of Uganda, one of the first African countries to confront the seriousness of the epidemic. The paper revises and updates an earlier study to incorporate results of the country's 1991 population census. The study recommends that key policymakers in ministries other than health, such as finance and planning, must factor in the consequences of AIDS when considering development strategies. It examines the effects of AIDS on health expenditures in light of projections of essential drugs required for treatment, as well as the impact of the epidemic on agricultural production from a household and farming system perspective. Recommendations and suggestions of areas for further research conclude the study.
