HIV and AIDS Scenarios for South Africa: 2005 – 2025 November 2006
Current Reality • Wide-spread HIV epidemic • Growing number of AIDS related deaths • Resultant impacts e.g. orphans • Myriad of efforts – largely uncoordinated with some gaps • Mixed, inconsistent messages • Sense of hopelessness
Live the Future Model • Create a shared understanding • Create a vision of an ideal future • Inspire new thinking • Stimulate discussion and informed action • identify and implement actions • maximise synergies for better use of limited resources • influence policies and agendas
How will HIV and AIDS and our responses shape the future of South Africa? 2005 to 2025 Key Question
Scenario Process • Deductive process • Synthesised findings from 9 studies since 2001 • Scenario participants involving multi-sectors • Commissioned desk research • Revised scenarios – qualitative narratives • Assumptions used to inform quantitative analyses • demographic projections • orphanhood projections • public health sector costing
Key Driving Forces - some examples - INESCAPABLES • The epidemic is with us for the next 20 years • Some poverty, inequality and unemployment remain • Government resources have limits • People are on the move • Other diseases UNCERTAINTIES • Will there be a ‘magic bullet’? • Who leads? Who has the power? How will it be used? • Response to inequality • Beliefs about HIV & AIDS • South African economy • Level of collaboration and goodwill
Scenario Branching Points Scenario 2 Scenario 4 Scenario 3 Scenario 1
Low economic growth / low social collaboration • Weak self-serving leadership • Few partnerships • Focus on blame, stigma and conspiracy • No behaviour change: drugs, sexual violence, gender inequality • Contradictory beliefs about AIDS • High crime • AIDS response: fake cures, corrupt systems
High economic growth / low social collaboration • Leadership driven by growth • Exclusive partnerships • Significant income differentials • Treatment and care is available, prevention is lacking • Little behaviour change • Gender inequality and sexual violence • Limited acceptance of HIV positive people • AIDS response intellectualised
Lower economic growth / high social collaboration • Idealistic broad-based but uncoordinated leadership • Small duplicating partnerships • Powerful pockets in civil society responding well • Focus on acceptance and care • Moderate behaviour change • Better gender equality • AIDS response: chronic, manageable disease
High economic growth / high social collaboration • Strong collaborative leadership committed to a developmental society and led by government together with all role players • Effective large-scale public-private partnerships • Focus on prevention, also provide treatment and care • Personal responsibility for health • Wide-spread behaviour change • Strong social net • AIDS response integrated
Scenario Responses in 2025 • The Economy • High GDP Growth across society • Market is buoyant and wealth is better spread • SA becomes more competitive globally • Strong foreign investment due to confidence on growth and HIV and AIDS risk management • Skills are developed and retained • Trade barriers put in place to limit skills loss • New treaties signed to tap into emerging industry and secure jobs for unemployed • Human Development Index increases after 2005
Scenario Responses in 2025 • Government • New infrastructure supports broad based development • Social welfare programmes responsive but needed by fewer • Clinics become centres for out-reach • Effective law enforcement – more reporting and convictions re sexual violence and drugs • Business • HIV workplace programmes become standard • Compulsory counselling and voluntary testing is common • Big business supports SMMEs ito HIV programmes • Suppliers expected to have relevant programmes in place • Public-private healthcare partnerships – improves basic access to all • Tax concessions granted • Donors • Funding informed by national agenda, longer term, more sustainable • All funding via central fund – better coordination, gaps filled
