Department of State Washington File: Knowledge of AIDS High But Awareness of Risks Low, Study Finds
In contrast, a majority of women had changed sexual behavior in only half the countries. However, the report said, in some countries the percentage of women who had made some change was significant: more than three in four women in the Central African Republic, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mozambique, and Tanzania.

Department of State Washington File: Text: Foreign Investment Declines Again in 2002, U.N. Agency Says
Central and Eastern Europe are set this year to repeat last year's US$27 billion in FDI inflows, UNCTAD believes, but finds that the picture is mixed.

Poland suffered the largest downturn, from US$9 billion to US$6 billion, while the Russian Federation is likely to hold steady, at about US$3 billion. The divergent trends are associated with different external and internal factors. Among the external factors are the global economic and world FDI situations.
