  3. The Sydney Declaration “Ten per cent of all resources dedicated to HIV programming should be used for research towards optimizing interventions utilized and health outcomes achieved”

  4. Progress since Sydney 1) Sydney Declaration + Financial Crisis = ?? TOTAL annual resources available for AIDS 1996 - 2008 ?? Global financial crisis Notes: [1] 1986-2000 figures are for international funds only [2] Domestic funds are included after 2001 [i] 1996-2006 data: Extracted from 2008 Report on the Global AIDS Epidemic (UNAIDS, 2008)

  9. Priority Research Needs in 2007 Where are we now? - Cost Effectiveness Programspoorlymanaged: Enormousvariation in unitcosts $1000 Mexico Uganda Russia India South Africa $100 Cost per VCT Completed (unit cost) $10 $1 0 10 100 1000 10,000 Annual Clients Completing VCT (scale)

  10. The Changing Research Landscape • Economic Crisis • Inadequate focus on prevention • More people on treatment • Changing treatment guidelines

  11. Priority Research Needs: 2009 • Research to accelerate expansion of prevention services building on epidemic and programmatic evidence • 2. Evidence to inform new treatment guidelines • Improving pharmacovigilence and monitoring of adverse events and toxicities in resource poor settings • Strengthening linkages of HIV and TB services within the context of primary health care and chronic disease management

  12. Where do we go from here? • Provide robust, transparent, and consist research support for countries to develop, finance, and implement research agendas Address significant HR constraints Strengthen coordination amongst donors and development partners in the spirit of the ‘Three Ones’ and the Accra declaration ENSURE RESEARCH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS, TB, MALARIA
