Where is the Money?

The Case for 'Bigger and Smarter' Funding for HIV and AIDS in Africa

A Pivotal Point in the HIV Response
June 2011 - In the aftermath of the Global Economic Crisis, there has been intense competition for limited resources for HIV prevention, treatment, care, and support. The funding terrain has changed immensely with major donors limiting or eliminating funding streams for HIV programmes. This threatens to undermine progress made in response to the epidemic, particularly in the most affected regions of the world such as sub-Saharan Africa. There is still a huge unmet need for HIV prevention and treatment services.
