Book excerpt: After decades of neglect the HIV/AIDS epidemic has rightly become one of the highest priorities on the global agenda. Funding pledges from the donors have doubled resource commitments between 2002 and 2004 to over $6 billion. That surge in funding belies the volatile nature of contributions to HIV/AIDS initiatives at the country level. The paper analyzes the impacts of abrupt HIV/AIDS funding on macroeconomic stability, fiscal health and the development of health institutions. The macroeconomic effects are ambiguous, but depend on the overall level of aid flows, as well as those for HIV/AIDS, the management of foreign exchange inflows, and effective spending policies. The fiscal ramifications revolve around the jump in external funding that reached around 1000% in Lesotho and Swaziland, and 650% in Zambia between 2002 and 2004, and the required rapid scale up if resources are to be used productively. At the same time, the new HIV/AIDS monies are swamping public health budgets in some cases exceeding 150% of the government's total allocations for health. The vertical HIV/AIDS programs and the set aside funding threaten to undermine the very institutions that will need to carry forward the long term HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment agenda for each country. Health systems are already fragile, and governance problems and uneven productivity compound the challenges. Health institutions require funding and attention to strengthen them in the fight against HIV/AIDS. While the committed funds are desperately needed, solutions to the dilemma will require creative options to ensure the flow of funds, manage the economic implications and ensure effective service delivery. These are explored in the concluding section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has spent two productive decades implementing a variety of prevention programs. While these efforts have slowed the rate of infection, challenges remain. The United States must refocus its efforts to contain the spread of HIV and AIDS in a way that would prevent as many new HIV infections as possible. No Time to Lose presents the Institute of Medicine's framework for a national prevention strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monitoring and analysis of public expenditure on HIV/AIDS is vital given the severity of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the substantial inflows of donor funds, and the critical need for investment from the national fiscus. This book aims to examine how governments in 4 African (Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa) and 5 Latin American countries (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Nicaragua) are funding the fight against HIV/AIDS, and simultaneously builds capacity for HIV/AIDS budget analysis within civil society. This study is unprecedented and invaluable for its unique research into government budget allocations for HIV/AIDS in these countries. No other such recent, targeted research exists in these countries, let alone is collected for its comparative value from a regional and cross-continental perspective. The research was generated by local, independent institutions within the countries concerned. The report therefore represents a collective effort by local non-governmental organizations to monitor their own government spending on HIV/AIDS, and thus to act as a watchdog to ensure that government resource allocation decisions reflect vital public priorities. This report needs to be read by anyone who is concerned with AIDS and with government financing - and that includes parliamentarians and governments themselves. It especially needs to be read by those who are looking at AIDS and government expenditure, trying to understand where the money is coming from, where it is going, and why it is being spent that way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jamaica has made many notable achievements in the fight against HIV/AIDS, which include a robust treatment program and improved HIV prevention programs that increasingly focus on the key drivers of the HIV epidemic and which are based on evidence. These attainments have resulted in a sustained decline in the estimated incidence of HIV and in a reduction in AIDS mortality. The national response to HIV/AIDS in Jamaica is currently financed by the Government as well as by several external sources, including the World Bank, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) and the United States government. It is expected, however, that external financing will cease or be significantly reduced in the next two years. As a result, a substantial increase in domestic financing for the national HIV/AIDS response will be needed. However, public debt levels are high, and the country is feeling the repercussions of the global financial crisis, thus the availability of domestic resources is and will be very tight. Any shortfall in financing whether domestic, external or both will have serious implications for the delivery of HIV services. The Government of Jamaica requested this study so as to inform its future HIV/AIDS policy response. This study is one input in a series of actions that the Government will undertake to formulate a future sustainability plan and investment framework for the National HIV Program. This study was led and financed by the World Bank and conducted in collaboration with the Government of Jamaica and United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). The study aimed to assess the sustainability of Jamaica's National HIV Program from a fiscal perspective. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to: 1) review current spending on HIV/AIDS and the sources of financing; 2) estimate the fiscal burden of the national HIV/AIDS response and assess the outlook for external financing of the HIV program; 3) project how the epidemic will unfold as well as what the costs would be under different potential scenarios; and 4) provide recommendations to inform policy decisions.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS has been one of the largest public health crises in recent history, and the U.S. federal government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars fighting the disease. This study examines the impact of federal funding allocated to U.S. cities through the Ryan White CARE Act, which is the largest program for combating HIV/AIDS in the United States. The empirical approach identifies the impact of the funding by studying funding variation that comes from Ryan White policy features that resulted in large funding differences among cities that were originally on parallel HIV/AIDS trajectories and finds that Ryan White's city-level funding has improved HIV/AIDS outcomes in the cities receiving the funds. The estimates indicate that one HIV/AIDS death has been avoided for every $314,000 allocated through the program and that the program has saved approximately 60,000 lives through 2018. The estimates also indicate that funding differences across cities have contributed to the uneven progress in combating HIV/AIDS across the United States.

Download or read book Measuring the Performance of Global Fund and PEPFAR Monies on the Expansion of Art Coverage written by Chunling Lu and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rationale: New global funding mechanisms for HIV/AIDS have arisen in the wake of a concerted global effort to mobilize support for the fight against HIV/AIDS - namely, the Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM) in 2001 and the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003. In 2003, WHO initiated "3 by 5", a campaign to place 3 million individuals, or roughly 50% of those in need, on ART by December 2005. Although the targets set by 3 by 5 have not been achieved, the demonstrated efficacy of ART in rich countries and in resource-poor setting provides a strong rationale for continued emphasis on expanding coverage. External funding to support the rapid scale-up of ART has signifcantly increased. However, questions remain regarding the actual increase in treatment coverage of the population in need that has been achieved, and the possible overestimation of the numbe of people receiving treatment, claimed by different programs. Objective: In this analysis, we will analyze the impact of spending on HIV/AIDS on targets set by global health organizations. Specifically, we will assess the relative contributions and overall impact of Global Fund and PEPFAR spending on observed trends in ART coverage. Methods: To quantify the impact of Global Fund and PEPFAR spending on scaling up ART coverage, we use ART coverage - the ratio of treatment utilization to estimated need for ART - as the outcome variable in analysis. We obtain these variables separately from UNAIDS country-specific epidemiological fact sheets and from online databases available from the WHO. The consistency of estimates across sources is investigated. Disbursement information for HIV/AIDS was obtained from the Global Fund and PEPFAR websites. Additional covariates - GDP per capita and indicators of government effectiveness - were included in the model to investigate the influence of other country-level determinants. Results: Our preliminary findings suggest that countries receiving concurrent assistance from the Global Fund and PEPFAR are experiencing increases in rates of ART coverage. Conclusion: We find that Global Fund and PEPFAR spending are having a positive impact on the expansion of ART coverage. These results must be interpreted with caution due to data quality issues such as cross-country discrepancies in how coverage data was collected and reported. Because the organizations function differently in ways that might influence spending outcomes, future work to disentangle the relative contributions of Global Fund and PEPFAR to these outcomes is especially important.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper clarifies the concepts of community initiatives since organizations involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS use different definitions of 'community.' It presents several HIV initiatives taken by communities (including prevention, access to care and treatment, impact mitigation, and systems development) and analyzes them from a social capital perspective. The paper also analyzes the following issues and challenges: a) assessing the impact of interventions conducted in communities including the difficulty of integrating community initiatives within the national responses; b) sustaining community initiatives where strategies and funding are uncertain, and where initiatives depend on volunteers; c) cost effectiveness; and d) ensuring adequate representation of marginalized groups. Finally, the paper presents issues and trends for external assistance to community initiatives. This includes examining the role of community initiatives within national strategies, donor strategies for assisting communities, decentralization and community HIV/AIDS initiatives, performance or output-based grants, and the nature and use of impact evaluations.

Download or read book The Fiscal Dimension of HIV/AIDS in Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, and Uganda written by Elizabeth Lule and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS continues to take a tremendous toll on the populations of many countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In some countries with high HIV prevalence rates, life expectancy has declined by more than a decade and in a few cases by more than two decades. Even in countries with HIV prevalence of around 5 percent (close to the average for sub-Saharan Africa), the epidemic can reverse gains in life expectancy and other health outcomes achieved over one or two decades. This volume highlights work conducted under the umbrella of a World Bank work program on The Fiscal Dimension of HIV/AIDS, including country studies on Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, and Uganda. It covers four aspects of the fiscal dimensions of HIV/AIDS: First, it aims for a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal costs of HIV/AIDS, with a wider scope than a costing analysis focusing on only the policy response to HIV/AIDS. Second, it embeds the analysis of HIV/AIDS costs in a discussion of the fiscal context, and interprets these costs as a quasi-liability, not a debt de jure, but a political and fiscal commitment that binds fiscal resources in the future and cannot easily be changed, and very similar to a pension obligation or certain social grants or services. Third, it develops tools to assess the (fiscal dimensions of) trade-offs between HIV/AIDS policies and measures that take into account the persistence of these spending commitments. Fourth, most of the fiscal costs of HIV/AIDS are ultimately caused by new infections, and this study estimates the fiscal resources committed (or saved) by an additional (or prevented) HIV infection. Building on these estimates, the analysis here is able to assess the evolving fiscal burden of HIV/AIDS over time.

This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While much progress has been made on achieving the Millenium Development Goals over the last decade, the number and complexity of global health challenges has persisted. Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures. Monumental growth in international travel and trade have brought improved access to goods and services for many, but also carry ongoing and ever-present threats of zoonotic spillover and infectious disease outbreaks that threaten all. Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.

This book was released on 1993-02-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe's "Black Death" contributed to the rise of nation states, mercantile economies, and even the Reformation. Will the AIDS epidemic have similar dramatic effects on the social and political landscape of the twenty-first century? This readable volume looks at the impact of AIDS since its emergence and suggests its effects in the next decade, when a million or more Americans will likely die of the disease. The Social Impact of AIDS in the United States addresses some of the most sensitive and controversial issues in the public debate over AIDS. This landmark book explores how AIDS has affected fundamental policies and practices in our major institutions, examining: How America's major religious organizations have dealt with sometimes conflicting values: the imperative of care for the sick versus traditional views of homosexuality and drug use. Hotly debated public health measures, such as HIV antibody testing and screening, tracing of sexual contacts, and quarantine. The potential risk of HIV infection to and from health care workers. How AIDS activists have brought about major change in the way new drugs are brought to the marketplace. The impact of AIDS on community-based organizations, from volunteers caring for individuals to the highly political ACT-UP organization. Coping with HIV infection in prisons. Two case studies shed light on HIV and the family relationship. One reports on some efforts to gain legal recognition for nonmarital relationships, and the other examines foster care programs for newborns with the HIV virus. A case study of New York City details how selected institutions interact to give what may be a picture of AIDS in the future. This clear and comprehensive presentation will be of interest to anyone concerned about AIDS and its impact on the country: health professionals, sociologists, psychologists, advocates for at-risk populations, and interested individuals.
