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.

This paper outlines three important pillars of an AIDS and MDGs approach: 1. Understanding how AIDS and the other MDGs impact on one another; 2. Documenting and exchanging lessons learned across AIDS and other MDGs; and 3. Creating cross-MDG synergy and increasing cost-effectiveness through intervention strategies that simultaneously address AIDS together with other MDGs. The paper proposes broader policy level implications to move the AIDS and MDGs approach forward. These recommendations include: 1. Map the HIV epidemic in relation to the broader MDG and development context. 2. …
