Abstract
This chapter offers an ethnographic account of a World Bank mission to evaluate the Enhanced HIV/AIDS Control Program in Pakistan. It details the emergence of a new mode of entrepreneurial governance of HIV/AIDS prevention, premised on the elements of cultural difference of the sex workers, injecting drug users, transgenders, and men who have sex with men, and on the presumed inability of the state to work with these criminalized groups. The World Bank’s push for public–private partnership allowed a cartel of policy elites to capitalize on these elements of cultural difference in their projects of dispossession, whilst the Pakistani government attempted to wrest back control over the management of resources.
