During the 1980s and 1990s, Uganda faced a severe crisis, with almost 30% of the adult population infected with HIV/AIDS. Uganda responded through a mix of rationalist and creative policy approaches which, after a decade of intervention, made Uganda the first African nation to report a decline in HIV prevalence--a trend that continues till today. Uganda thus demonstrated to the world that success is possible in the war against HIV/AIDS. I analyse here the Ugandan response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and highlight some lessons to be learnt for countries such as India, which face a rising HIV/AIDS epidemic. It is in the creative policy initiatives, often called the unwritten policy response, that major lessons are to be learnt from Uganda. Lessons may also be learnt by other nations from certain weaknesses in the Ugandan approach.
在20世纪80年代和90年代，乌干达面临着一场严重危机，近30%的成年人口感染了艾滋病毒/艾滋病。乌干达通过理性主义和创新性政策方法相结合的方式做出回应，经过十年的干预，乌干达成为首个报告艾滋病毒感染率下降的非洲国家——这一趋势一直持续至今。乌干达由此向世界证明，在抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病的战争中取得成功是可能的。我在此分析乌干达对艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的应对措施，并强调印度等面临艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情上升的国家可以吸取的一些经验教训。正是在这些通常被称为不成文政策回应的创新性政策举措中，可以从乌干达学到主要经验教训。其他国家也可能从乌干达方法中的某些弱点中吸取教训。
