  1. Tracking Ireland’s Funding Commitment to HIV, AIDS and Communicable Diseases Dóchas Naomi Petty-Saphon and Finola Mohan

  2. Introduction • 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS UNGASS • 2005 and 2006 press release outlined specific contributions of ODA to HIV, AIDS and Communicable Diseases

  3. Research Questions • Establish as fully as possible actual number commitments • Ascertain disbursements of ODA from Irish Aid • Are the commitments being met?

  4. Commitments • €100 million ($144 million approx.) per year on HIV and other communicable diseases • €6 million ($8.65 million approx) per year to UNAIDS • €20 million ($28.85 million approx) to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria in 2006 • An additional €30 million ($43.27 million approx) on HIV to Ireland’s partner countries • 20% of the increased resources to be spent on interventions that will benefit children

  5. Methods of Research • OECD DAC QWIDS • STD Control (incl. HIV/AIDS) • Health Education • Infectious Diseases • Malaria and TB • Social Mitigation of HIV/AIDS • Irish Aid Reports • Global Fund • UNAIDS

  6. Findings • Target 1: €100 million a year

  7. Findings • Target 2: €6 million ($8.65 million) per year to UNAIDS • $5.7684 million (2007), $4.8988 million (2008) • Target 3: €20 million ($28.85 million) in 2006 to Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria

  8. Findings • Target 4: An additional €30 million to partner countries • $36 million increase in STD control alone • Target 5: 20% of the increase of this aid to the benefit of children • Assume this equates to €10 million • Difficult to define • Seems likely commitments are being met

  9. Response from Irish Aid • Dr. Douglas Hamilton, Health Advisor on HIV/AIDS for Irish Aid • Communicable diseases: HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, diarrhoea, RTI in children • Changing approach from vertical to horizontal (from disease specific projects to health systems approach)

  10. Conclusions • DAC reporting categories makes it difficult to track funding • Irish Aid use their own figures to report to the DAC, but these are not publically available • Irish Aids systems based approach makes money especially difficult to track • More detailed reporting would improve transparency
