This report is aimed at assisting in building the case for the need for significant improvements across prevention and impact mitigation interventions leading to a “value for money”, cost-effective national response. Each of the main sections in this report are focused on key affected populations—Entertainment Workers (EW) who sell sex, men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people (TG) and injecting drug users (IDUs). Each population section goes through the assumptions and results of both the costing and cost-effectiveness analyses for each group.

The Social Return on Investment(SROI) method is a form of cost benefit analysis to monetize project outcomes. It has been adapted and simplified for the community level with the incorporation of social, health, environmental and economic costs and benefits enabling the calculation of a ratio of cost to benefit. This is an appropriate approach, in line with the current donors’ growing emphasis on cost efficiency and effectiveness and the Paris declaration on aid effectiveness - demonstrating value for money, “doing more with less”.

Sri Lanka: National AIDS Spending Assessment 2009-2010 examines the flow of resources intended to combat HIV/AIDS. It tracks the allocation of funds, from their origin down to the end point of service delivery, among the different institutions dedicated in the fight against the disease using the bottom-up and top-down approach. Financial resources are tracked by financing source whether it is public, private or international, and among the different providers. Total HIV/AIDS expenditure in Sri Lanka during 2010 is estimated at Rs.534 million (USD 4.7 million), which is equivalent to 0.010% of GDP. Central government was the largest financing source, contributing 48% followed by donor agencies at 40% and International non-profit institutions contributing 3%.

In 2011, the Government of Solomon Islands committed to undertake a comprehensive National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) of HIV and AIDS expenditure in Solomon Islands.
This report is the result of a spending assessment exercise that was extensive, expansive and rigorous. It was coordinated by Solomon Islands National AIDS Commission (SINAC) in collaboration with UNAIDS and stakeholders involved in the response to HIV and AIDS.

The Philippines, while seemingly fortunate in thus far being able to avert a full-blown HIV/AIDS epidemic, remains at risk for this potentially disastrous possibility. On both the policy and program fronts, strategic areas have been identified to better focus the various sector-specific prevention and control activities. Nonetheless, if recent and current financing and allocation patterns are any measure, the reality may be far from the drawing board ideal. The current HIV/AIDS financing backbone will thus have to be streamlined and made more efficient and effective.

In low- and middle-income countries, substantial resources for the AIDS response come from the largest bilateral, multilateral, and private philanthropic donors and from a country’s contribution to addressing its own epidemic. There is no reliable indication of what overall proportion of these resources ultimately reaches men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender people.
Our objective was to examine major donor investments targeted at these two groups in 2009, but we also recorded relevant information from other years (2008, 2010, and 2011) when available.

People who inject drugs should benefit from the large increases in the global resources available for HIV. However, it is difficult to measure how much of global HIV spending actually goes into harm reduction. Although harm reduction is relatively invisible in national and international budgets, it is possible to calculate a plausible estimate of HIV-related harm reduction expenditure in low and middle income countries between 2007 and 2009. These results demonstrate the degree to which the international community is failing to address the issue of HIV among injecting drug using populations.
Despite the difficulties in identifying harm reduction expenditure, and of obtaining accurate estimates, there is no doubt that the overall volume of spending on HIV-related harm reduction is small.

In this report, WHO outlines how countries can modify their financing systems to move more quickly towards universal coverage and to sustain those achievements. The report synthesizes new research and lessons learnt from experience into a set of possible actions that countries at all stages of development can consider and adapt to their own needs. It suggests ways the international community can support efforts in low-income countries to achieve universal coverage.

The objective of the NASA report is to track HIV/AIDS spending from 2007 to 2009 from various sources of financing covering both public and external funds. The aim of this initiative is to inform policy-makers, program managers, and the donor community on the magnitude and profile of HIV/AIDS expenditures in the country and guide them in their planning and decision-making activities.
There is increasing trend in overall spending for AIDS from 2007 to 2009 in the Philippines. For the given period, most of the resources went to prevention interventions (65%), followed by program management and administration (19%), and care and treatment activities (7%). Key support from the country’s development partners range from service delivery interventions to technical assistance.
