“Towards an improved investment approach for an effective response to HIV “The Lancet, June 3, 2011www.thelancet.com
Moving from a commodity approach:“Fund some of everything” or“Fund what is comfortable”toAn Investment approach:“Fund evidenced-based activities specific to the needs of your epidemic to get better long term results at lower costs.”A tool for evaluation and reallocation of HIV funding.
Three Categories of Investment: • Six basic programmatic activities • Critical interventions that create an enabling environment for achieving maximum impact; and • Programmatic efforts in wider health and development sectors related to AIDS. • Rights-based approach to all services and policies
Basic programme activities • Activities that have a direct impact on reducing HIV transmission, morbidity and mortality to be scaled up according to size of relevant affected population
Basic Program Activities Based on high level evidence of effectiveness. • Treatment, care and support • Vertical Transmission prevention • Condom procurement and distribution • Key populations programs (MSM, IDU, Sex Workers) • Male circumcision • Behavior Change programs
Critical Enablers Social Enablers - make possible environments conducive for sound AIDS responses: • outreach for HIV testing • Linkage from testing to care • treatment literacy • stigma reduction • advocacy to protect human rights • monitoring of the equity and quality of programme access and results
Critical Enablers Program Enablers - create demand for and help improve the performance of key interventions: • incentives for engagement in health services • methods to improve retention on ART • capacity building for community-based organizational development • strategic planning • communications infrastructure • information dissemination • efforts to improve service integration and linkages from testing to care.
Synergies with other development sectors • Health systems and multiple health issues • Gender equality efforts • Education and justice sectors • Social protection and welfare • Food security • Community systems • Housing
What is the Role of Community Mobilization in this Framework? • Community-driven outreach and engagement activities that connect people facing similar issues and engage them in HIV-related interventions • Supportactivities to enhance quality, adherence and impact in a range of settings such as people on treatment, engaged in harm reductionor drug treatment services, or who are using sexual and reproductive health services • Advocacy, transparency and accountability efforts at country and local levels to ensure that high-quality health services are available and accessible to vulnerable populations.

Community mobilization increases effectiveness Community mobilisation increased HIV testing rates four-fold in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Thailand Consistent condom use in the past 12 months was 4 times higher in communities with good community engagement (Kenya) Hypothetical circumcision model KwaZulu-Natal : • Core intervention: 240,000 infections averted over ten years • With enablers: 420,000 infections averted, with modest marginal increase in costs

Projections and Estimates • Resource needs and returns on investment were estimated for 139 low- and middle-income countries • Estimates based on the cost of increasing from current levels of coverage in 2011 to achieve universal access target coverage levels by 2015 and maintain them thereafter. (Includes 1st and 2nd line treatment.) • Each of the basic programme activities in the framework was applied to relevant populations according to their demographic and epidemiological situation including the distribution of new HIV infections by mode of transmission as detailed in the literature.
Returns for InvestmentMore than 12 million Infections averted
