GW Report Urges Wealthy Countries and Companies to Help Africans Develop “Social Contract” to Combat AIDS Crisis
By Amy Wong


The
George Washington University Law School’s Creative and Innovative
Economy Center (CIEC) released a report today that makes 11
recommendations on how to approach Africa’s worsening AIDS epidemic. Currently, 26 million people living in Sub-Saharan Africa are HIV positive. Over
the next 20 years, millions are expected to die from AIDS unless there
is an organized intervention to prevent this human catastrophe.


CIEC
Director Michael P. Ryan led a team of field researchers to Burkina
Faso, Botswana, and Uganda to study treatment programs in Africa. He
said, “AIDS activists declare that the drug companies must take
immediate action to stem the crisis, but drug company leaders assert
that African governments are responsible for the health of their
peoples. This report asks whois responsible to do what and why regarding antiretroviral (ARV, a drug that slows the debilitating effects of AIDS) drug innovation and access in Africa.”


So who is responsible for cleaning up this mess? Rich countries and drug companies.

Ryan
asserted that “a social contract challenges wealthy countries and the
drug companies to work more effectively with the governments of
Sub-Saharan Africa.” He continued, “Each government must
articulate comprehensive strategies and recruit partners with know-how
and financial resources who are committed to sustaining programs over
many years.”


One of the main reasons AIDS has mushroomed into such a disaster, according to globalissues.org, is that “constraints such as social norms and taboos, or lack of decisive or effective institutions, have all contributed to the situation getting worse.” The website
also says that “in South Africa, a relatively wealthy African nation,
President Thabo Mbeki had long denied AIDS resulting from HIV. Only through public outrage and international pressure was he forced to admit that there is a problem.” I even recall reading an article in the Los Angeles Times
a couple of years back about how some men have multiple partners, then
beat their women for even suggesting the use of condoms, as if it were
a personal offense to them.


It’s imperative that they want to accept and learn about what we can offer. There must be greater cultural changes--not only in the people affected but in African leaders.

Some African leaders have taken active measures to ameliorate their countries’ AIDS crises. According to allAfrica.com,
“Senegal has managed to keep its infection rate down to 1 per cent,
thanks to the government’s determination to tackle the problem of AIDS
head on, unlike many other countries on the continent where political
and religious leaders have been deeply ambivalent about acknowledging
the extent of the problem.” Senegal, the Sub-Saharan
African country with the lowest AIDS rate, accepted resources and help
open-mindedly, sought out prevention measures such as condoms, and
provided universal access to ARV drugs.


I think all Sub-Saharan countries (and, particularly, their leaders) should look to Senegal as an example. Ryan and his team pointed it out, but I just want to underscore this point: Fighting AIDS is not simply a “give” process. It is a “give-and-take” process in which, as Ryan said, “African governments should coordinate public-private partnerships.”
