"While a vigorous debate continues over whether donors should be devoting such large amounts of money to AIDS as they now are -- compared with their spending on other global health priorities -- it is clear that the global response to HIV/AIDS constitutes a historic marshalling of resources for health. Never has so much international aid been dedicated to global health, let alone to a specific disease. [...] This report finds that the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the World Bank’s Multi-Country AIDS Program for Africa have helped establish AIDS-specific systems and processes distinct from those of other health programs. At the same time, these AIDS-specific processes use many of the same resources as a country’s broader health system."
This is an analysis from the Center for Global Development's HIV/AIDS Monitor team. Nandini Oomman is a Senior Program Associate and Director of the HIV/AIDS Monitor at the CGD.
