Development partners have recognized the obligation to mitigate HIV risks associated with infrastructure development as an opportunity to contribute to the fight against HIV/AIDS and poverty in the Greater Mekong Subregion. Development partners agreed to strengthen inter-agency cooperation and harmonization to scale up and enhance the effectiveness of HIV and AIDS prevention in future infrastructure interventions. To achieve this, they jointly developed a set of practice guidelines that can provide some standardization of effective program elements, focusing on three different but interacting populations---sex and entertainment workers, local communities impacted by infrastructure development, and migrant workers.
