If “critical enablers” are critical, why are they not being adequately funded? A mapping of donor priorities and trends on HIV and human rightsJulia Greenberg, Ralf Jurgens, Susan Timberlake
Seven Key Programmes • Reduction of stigma and discrimination • HIV-related legal services • Monitoring and reforming laws, regulations and policies relating to HIV • Legal literacy (“know your HIV-related rights and laws”) • Sensitisationof law-makers and law enforcement agents • Training for health care providers • Programs to reduce discrimination, violence, and problematic laws experienced by women.
Domestic Funding • 70% of survey respondents report having never accessed domestic government funding. • Domestic resources now largest share of funding for HIV. US $9.9 billion in 2012. “The call for human rights organisations to seek domestic funding is neither realistic nor sustainable in countries with a poor track record of human rights. Furthermore, domestic government funding for HIV work is not reliable and restricts the freedom of community organisations to pursue human rights and advocacy work.” – Survey respondent, Malaysia
Funding for access to justice and reduction of stigma & discrimination • US $137 million is spent each year on the human rights response to HIV • Less than 1% of the US $18.9 billion spent on the overall HIV response in 2012.
Recommendations • Donors and Governments: Fully fund the HIV response, including critical enablers (human rights) • Private philanthropy: Continue to lead on funding the human rights response to HIV (fill gaps) • Global Fund: Realise the human rights strategy (work with donors and civil society)
Recommendations • UNAIDS: Support development of investment cases, National strategic plans that include costed human rights programing. Monitor implementation and track spending . • Existing donor collaborations– enlarge them in terms of funding and who they reach (especially those that foster synergies between HIV and human rights work)
