Level and Flow of National and International Resources for the Response to HIV/AIDS, 1996-1997 (Electronic book text)

The need to develop and to apply a financial monitoring system that would include data on national and international HIV/AIDS financing persists. The UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) recommended at its fourth meeting, 4-7 April 1997, that the UNAIDS Secretariat prepare an overview of the funding level of national responses to HIV/AIDS in developing countries and countries in transition. The UNAIDS Secretariat and the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights of the Harvard School of Public Health undertook the present collaborative study as a follow-up to this recommendation. This study provides a baseline on which to build a financial monitoring system for national and international HIV/AIDS financing. It also highlights a series of issues that need to be addressed in the development of such a system.
