[This report does not necessarily reflect the views of the United Nations]
JOHANNESBURG, 4 August (PLUSNEWS) - The World Bank this week reinforced its promise to help boost Eritrea's fight against communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Eritrea's Minister of National Development and World Bank officials signed a grant agreement totalling US $24 million, approved by the Bank at the end of June.
According to the BBC, the money will be used for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, as well as reducing the death rate of mothers and babies during birth.
The grant will be administered by the country's HIV/AIDS/STI, TB, Malaria and Reproductive Health Project.
