An Expert Consultation on Costing HIV Responses in Asia-Pacific was held from 28 to 29 October 2010 for expert developers and users to assess the usefulness of various costing tools for different purposes, as well as their comparability and complementarities. The meeting outcomes were intended to support the HIV National Strategic Planning process and Global Fund (and other) proposal development at a time when resources are expected to decline, so that countries must prioritize and implement the most cost-effective programmes.

More and better resources are needed if the health Millennium Development Goals are to be reached in 2015. The aim is to raise additional resources that are provided to countries in an effective way and linked to results.
Every human being is entitled to good health. Health is a measure of social justice and equity. Access for all people to safe, high-quality essential health-care services is vital, and is a key responsibility of governments. Investments in improving health play a crucial role in reducing poverty, achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and promoting peace and stability.

• To develop harmonized guidance for countries on appropriate tools for costing the HIV response depending on intended purpose.
• To consider next steps for country level coordination for dissemination of costing guidance and piloting costing tools, and for identifying technical needs and ensuing technical support and capacity building.
• To identify organizations that will take forward any further technical development of costing models, and the ensuing technical support and capacity building.

At present various tools are used to derive cost-related information on the HIV response in countries. These include tools to derive unit costs, estimate total resource needs, cost strategic or operational plans, and to optimize resource allocation, track expenditure and estimate cost effectiveness. There is a lack of information or understanding in many countries among national HIV program managers and planners about the respective use, comparability, and compatibility among different tools. Consultants have personal preferences based on familiarity. For The Global Fund, proposals with separate commodity based budgets have to be derived, and there are problems since the Technical Review Panel cannot compare costs across proposals derived through different methods.
This note is intended as a short summary of the recent consultation to share immediately with partners to indicate meeting outcomes and action points while the extended meeting report is finalized.
