This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HIV/AIDS continues to take a tremendous toll on the populations of many countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In some countries with high HIV prevalence rates, life expectancy has declined by more than a decade and in a few cases by more than two decades. Even in countries with HIV prevalence of around 5 percent (close to the average for sub-Saharan Africa), the epidemic can reverse gains in life expectancy and other health outcomes achieved over one or two decades. This volume highlights work conducted under the umbrella of a World Bank work program on The Fiscal Dimension of HIV/AIDS, including country studies on Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, and Uganda. It covers four aspects of the fiscal dimensions of HIV/AIDS: First, it aims for a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal costs of HIV/AIDS, with a wider scope than a costing analysis focusing on only the policy response to HIV/AIDS. Second, it embeds the analysis of HIV/AIDS costs in a discussion of the fiscal context, and interprets these costs as a quasi-liability, not a debt de jure, but a political and fiscal commitment that binds fiscal resources in the future and cannot easily be changed, and very similar to a pension obligation or certain social grants or services. Third, it develops tools to assess the (fiscal dimensions of) trade-offs between HIV/AIDS policies and measures that take into account the persistence of these spending commitments. Fourth, most of the fiscal costs of HIV/AIDS are ultimately caused by new infections, and this study estimates the fiscal resources committed (or saved) by an additional (or prevented) HIV infection. Building on these estimates, the analysis here is able to assess the evolving fiscal burden of HIV/AIDS over time.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Africa, people in whom significant resources have been invested are dying prematurely from AIDS that continues to pose serious challenges to the ability of African States to maintain efficient public institutions and deliver sound policies and promote the rule of law. HIV infection patterns are continually changing; economic realities are making treatment adherence difficult and resistance to current drugs are beginning to emerge. These challenges can be faced and surmounted through better appreciation of the country-specific epidemic, use of better data for national response good governance and stronger political commitments at all levels of society. Therefore, comprehensive and enhanced response to AIDS must be at the centre of development strategies. This retrospective report presents key messages and policy recommendations formulated with a crucial role of the views of people affected and infected by AIDS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation assesses the support from Irish Aid, USAID and Danida to the response to HIV/AIDS during the period 2007 - 2012 against the background of the general progress in Uganda's response to the epidemic and presents data on results. The evaluation analyses recent practices of government, donors and civil society with a view to determining what has been successful and what has not - and why - so that future interventions can become more effective. For a number of years, especially in the early phases of the epidemic, Uganda attracted attention from the rest of the world because of its success in reducing HIV/AIDS prevalence. Since 2006, however, prevalence and incidence have stopped declining despite increased funding. Ultimately, as stated by Uganda AIDS Commission, the aim of the AIDS response is to rid Uganda of the disease. Ireland, USA and Denmark, as well as a number of other donors have for years been prominent members of the Uganda AIDS Partnership and supported government as well as civil society efforts to curb the epidemic. Given the importance of donor support to Uganda in this field and the history of the epidemic, including the initial success and the setback of later years, the evaluation has analysed the possible reasons for the positive and negative trends in the development of the disease control efforts. The evaluation is a learning evaluation and can contribute to future learning within the sector.
