Background • Heavy dependence on donor funding • Expansion of HIV services beyond the levels that can be sustained
HAPSAT: HIV/AIDS Program Sustainability Analysis Tool • Sustainability of HIV programs in limited-resource settings: • What should be prioritized? • What efficiency measures should be applied? • How should additional resources be mobilized?
Objectives of the presentation • In relation to prioritization and resource mobilization: • HAPSAT framework • Interests of policy makers of HIV responses • Examples from Guyana, Kenya, Sierra Leone and South Sudan (conducted in additional 10 countries)
Prioritization • Effectiveness of interventions: mainly for medical interventions • Capacity (versus universal access) • Cost • Contextual issues
Prioritization South Sudan: HIV awareness through radio vs. billboards
Prioritization among MARPs • South Sudan: Scaling up CSW outreach rather than constructing costly prevention centers • Sierra Leone: Under the program leadership and support from UNAIDS, Global Fund and USAID (the latter through HAPSAT) Inclusion of MSM in the national strategic plan
Resource mobilization strategies • Increased govt. budgetary allocations to HIV/AIDS interventions • Earmarked taxation for HIV/AIDS • Concessionary loans for HIV/AIDS programs • Debt conversion (know also debt2health) • Risk-pooling schemes (e.g. insurance) and special social assistance programs covering HIV/AIDS services • Fundraising (special/endowment HIV/AIDS funds)
Resource mobilization: Financing Kenya’s National HIV Response 2008/09 vs. 2012/13 2008/09 $687 million 2012/13 $1,003 million
Lessons learned • Understanding the reality Need for prioritization • Need for diverse funding sources Resource mobilization • Need for sustainability plans • Sierra Leone: Govt. pledges to replace Global Fund financing once ends • Guyana: Preparing for PEPFAR gradual pull out
