Abstract

In the early 2000s, Pakistan’s response to HIV/AIDS was declared an area of public health needing of urgent intervention. This ‘scaled-up’ response was funded by international donors stipulating policies of subcontracting HIV/AIDS services to NGOs, an orthodoxy of global policy considered particularly important in Pakistan because the populations at greatest risk were criminalized by the state. This chapter introduces how these global policies were translated into action by local actors and what they actually do to an evolving HIV/AIDS response. It highlights how the response changed in three areas, which are explored throughout the book: bureaucracy, the keeping of public goods, and civil society. It also explains the book’s approach to fieldwork and methods.
