Donors at every level are retreating on funding commitments to HIV, and organizations working at the intersection of AIDS and rights are facing overall funding challenges. This briefing paper reports the findings of a 2012 study on HIV and human rights donor trends in Southern Africa, commissioned by the Open Society Foundations. It identifies opportunities to leverage donor support for HIV and human rights organizations, and for donor collaboration that can support them in the current funding environment.
Despite significant policy commitments to external resources reaching vulnerable children through communities, little information is available on what happens to these resources particularly as they enter, and flow through, the community. This study explored the related experiences, concerns and suggestions of two critical groups of stakeholders, whose voices are rarely heard: leaders of community initiatives and caregivers. …
The Resource Needs Model (RNM) is an Excel-based tool used to calculate the total resources needed at national and decentralized levels for HIV-related prevention and care, as well as support for orphans and vulnerable children. The RNM can help inform national- and district-level budgeting and strategic planning efforts; it estimates: the resources needed for interventions that aim to achieve expected coverage of a particular population using default unit costs; and resource implications of extending interventions and coverage and introducing unit cost changes.
The international community has repeatedly recognized the importance of achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health, with reinvigorated efforts in 2010. Although sexual and reproductive health has proven a wise use of development dollars, donors and governments are not doing enough to mobilize additional funding and maximize the impact of money spent. There is widespread acknowledgement that universal access to reproductive health - including family planning and maternal health services and supplies - is long overdue. …
The number of children under the age of 18 in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) who have lost one or both parents to AIDS has increased dramatically in the last five years. The number of children orphaned by AIDS in SSA is estimated to be around 12 million (UNICEF, 2006). Many more children live with one or more chronically ill or dying parents and or live in poverty stricken and food insecure households. …
The report covers the costing of the National Multi-Sectoral Framework (2008-2012) under four themes namely; enabling environment; care, treatment and support, prevention and impact mitigation including monitoring, evaluation and research; organizational and institutional arrangements of the implementation of the national response at central, regional and LGAs levels; financial, human and technical resource framework of the response; and operationalization and implementations of the strategic framework.
In recent years, Zambia has seen a dramatic increase in financial resources dedicated to HIV and AIDS activities. Despite this rapid escalation in HIV/AIDS funds, or perhaps because of it, it has become increasingly challenging to track sources of funding and spending patterns across the multiple public and non-government stakeholders. Without a good understanding of such funding flows, it has become difficult to assess where there are gaps in resources relative to Zambia's needs, and whether some areas are receiving too little or too much funding. …
The National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) is a tool designed to track the HIV and AIDS financial flows and actual expenditure at a country level. In essence, this systematic methodology captures all HIV expenditures, namely, health and non-health expenditures such as social mitigation, education, labour, justice and sectors related to HIV and AIDS. …
The aids2031-South Africa project aimed to estimate the influence of several factors on the magnitude, nature, costs and impacts of the national response to HIV/AIDS in South Africa. …
Two years on from the commitment by world leaders to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and care by 2010, the global response to HIV and AIDS remains woefully under funded. In 2007 for example, a comprehensive response to HIV and AIDS in low- and middle-income countries requires an estimated US$18.1 billion, increasing to US$23 billion in 2010. UNAIDS estimate the funding gap to be US$8.1 billion in 2007 and at least US$10 billion per annum between 2008 and 2010. …
This advocacy piece from the International AIDS Society argues that without sufficient treatment coverage, investments in HIV treatment and prevention will have only limited impact. Therefore, maximising coverage is the most sustainable response. By limiting new infections in the next five years, treatment costs that would otherwise continue to accrue for decades can be avoided. The author uses mathematical models to show that the potential of HIV treatment as prevention is high. …
Este documento presenta la clasificación para generar las MEGAS Medición del Gasto en Sida que se diseñó para el seguimiento de los recursos de las respuestas nacionales a la epidemia del VIH. Las MEGAS tienen como finalidad determinar los flujos de fondos utilizados para financiar las respuestas nacionales a la epidemia del VIH. Por lo tanto, el proceso de seguimiento de recursos sigue las transacciones financieras desde su origen hasta su destino final (es decir, los beneficiarios que reciben los bienes y servicios). …
This HIV/AIDS philanthropy resource tracking report of European funders (from EU countries only) is based largely on surveys completed by funders, with some supplemental review of annual reports and funders web sites. Funders were asked to provide EFG (European HIV/AIDS Funders Group) with data on their HIV/AIDS-related philanthropic expenditures in 2007, including the regional distribution, intended use, and target populations of funding. EFG obtained data for 39 European funders who appear in this report.
While the benefits of formal education on HIV are well understood, funding of education sector activities for HIV is frequently fraught with challenges. These challenges are likely to increase due to the current global financial crisis. It is therefore essential that program managers understand the evolving funding architecture, and how the education sector can position itself during these turbulent times. The present symposium was organized to provide a forum to discuss the financing of HIV in the education sector, with a specific focus on the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria. …
This article describes how the the government of Kenya took into account HIV in its government planning.
