Synopsis

This multi-country and intercontinental study examines how the governments of four African counties - Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa and Namibia; and five Latin American countries - Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Nicaragua - are funding the fight against HIV/AIDS. The work is unprecedented as a compendium of data and research into government budget allocations for HIV/AIDS, conducted by civil society, research and NGO organisations within each country involved; and collated and appraised for comparative purposes between countries and across continents.

About this title

Synopsis

The report on the funding by nine African and Latin American countries on HIV/AIDS has found that countries must do more to ensure a comprehensive response to the epidemic incorporating prevention, treatment, care and support. The study, undertaken by NGO research institutes in each country, was jointly coordinated by Idasa in South Africa and Fundar in Mexico. This research project makes a remarkable contribution to the field of HIV/AIDS resource-tracking, in that comparable budget analysis studies were undertaken by civil society organisations.
