In 2015, the NDoH and SANAC are pondering a number
of questions…
3
With new ART eligibility guidelines on the horizon and prevention programmes needing scale-up,with the flat-lining of donor support and limp economic growth,can we afford to continue our commitment to HIV therapy and prevention?Can we do better?For less money?
In summary,• Are there things we are not doing that we need to be doing?• Are there things we are doing but we are using the wrong approach?• Are there things that we are doing right but not at the right scale?• Are there things we are doing that will not make a difference that we need
to stop doing (or continue doing for political reasons)?
Key questions to the Investment Case
• How much does it cost to fund the current HIV and TB programmes in
the medium/long term?
• How much does it take to get to 90/90/90 for both HIV and TB by
2020 and what is the most cost-effective way of doing so?
• What is the impact of maximising the efficiency of the HIV and TB
programmes?
• What is the impact of the critical enablers and how much will it cost
to fund them?
The IC’s objective is to calculate the cost, impact and
cost-effectiveness of HIV and TB interventions

The South African Investment Case is an extension of
the investment framework
8
The 2011 Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS includes a pledge to reduce new HIV infections, deaths due to HIV and HIV-related stigma by 50% by 2015
Key to this is the introduction of an investment approach to achieve substantial and sustainable impacts on the global HIV response
In South Africa, during 2013 the NDOH and SANAC initiated the application of the investment framework to the twin epidemics of HIV and TB
The categories included in the South African Investment Case include:
• Biomedical interventions• Behavioural interventions• Technical efficiency factors• Strategic enablers and
development synergies
The South African Case puts the optimisation of allocative efficiency at the heart of the exercise, by using a novel optimisation methodology that allows the consideration of the combined impact of a large number of interventions
• Investment Approach by Investment framework study group, an international
group of experts, including from UNAIDS, the GFATM, the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, civil society organisations, national AIDS programmes, the World
Bank, the WHO, UNICEF, CHAI, CGD and PEPFAR
• We have done a lot- we are doing quite well with a number of biomedical
interventions
• But we can do better- we are not doing as well at preventing transmission…
• The flat-lining of resources
Lancet Article: 2011
Objectives of the Investment Approach
• Introduces a long term view on return on HIV and TB investments – look further than
5-year cycle of the NSP
• Quantifies returns on investments in the response
– Reducing new infections, keeping people alive
• Uses evidence to identify priorities and gaps in HIV and TB response
• Corrects the mismatches between the epidemic and response
– Focusing efforts on key locations and populations with the greatest needs
• Supplies a realistic appraisal of existing resources
What is an Investment Case?
1. A document that pulls together the HIV and TB investment logic:
– a description of smarter investments over the long-term (typically 10+ years)
2. Can be articulated in a variety of forms, based on a country’s specific contexts and
needs
– Is sometimes different from a NSP, which often includes an extensive and
aspirational articulation of needs
3. Unites diverse stakeholders including Treasury, departments of Health, Education,
Social development; Civil Society; PLHIV; and international partners
4. Articulates a common effort to identify implementation efficiencies

PHASE 1 (Oct 2013-June 2015)
National level results
1. Evidence review– Selection of interventions in sub-working
groups
– 2-day stakeholder consultation
– Grading of evidence by consultants
– Grading of evidence by modellers
2. Analysis– Cost and cost-effectiveness of HIV and TB
programmes
– Optimisation of HIV programme
– Expenditure analysis
3. Review of results by stakeholders
PHASE 2 (June-Aug 2015)
Provincial level results
Provincial HIV Business Plans
• Full TB cost model
• TB efficiency factors
PHASE 3 (Sept 2015 onwards)
Sub-provincial level results
• Geospatial modelling
District HIV and TB Implementation
Plans
In the evidence review we used a number of criteria,
including…
16
1. Availability of data on effectiveness
2. Data shows that intervention/ efficiency factor/ enabler is in fact
effective; includes
• Comparison with baseline/ “before intervention”
• Impact on HIV endpoints (mortality, incidence, coverage with any other
HIV intervention, sexual behaviour)
3. Strong preference for data from South Africa (unless none available)
4. Setting and target population are relevant to intervention under study
5. If no impact shown (equivalence studies), evidence of impact on cost
required
Suggested interventions were filtered through an
evidence review process

Some epidemiological assumptions (Thembisa)
• 80% reduction in infectiousness after ART initiation
• 60% reduction in HIV susceptibility in men who are circumcised
• Condom usage
– 31% reduction in unprotected sex after HIV diagnosis
– A further 32% reduction in unprotected sex after ART initiation
– An average of 3.4 condoms are distributed for each condom used to protect a sex act
• Sexual behaviour
– An average 20-year old woman in the high risk group has 3.3 new sexual partners each year

Unit costs: Three methods
Total cost of an intervention = target population x intervention unit cost
Unit cost = sum of (cost per ingredient x quantity of ingredient)
• Based on data from literature (54% of all included interventions):
– Used South African data where possible, some of it unpublished
– Updated input costs (drug cost, salaries etc) to 2014
– Corrected all else for inflation
• Based on ingredients (35%):
– Only if no literature was available
– Used same input costs as above; based quantities on literature or past budgets or assumption
• Based on expenditure data (10%):
– Only if no literature and no information on quantities was available
– Based on expenditure records of implementing agencies
Key questions
• How much does it cost to fund the current programme in the
medium/long term?
• How much does it take to get to the 90/90/90 targets by 2020 and
what is the most cost-effective way of doing so?
• What is the impact of maximising the efficiency of the programme?
• What is the impact of the critical enablers and how much will it cost
to fund them?

90/90/90 TARGETS
AFFORDABLE UNDER CURRENT BUDGET
Budget in 2016/17
ZAR 21.7 billion
South Africa has passed peak incidence- the choice is
how rapidly to further reduce it going forward
NSP: 50% reduction in 2012 incidence by 2016
UNAIDS: Elimination (=Incidence <0.1%)
31
Regardless of what is spent, HIV will not (quite) be eliminated by 2030
The introduction of ART has already done much to reduce incidence
Likewise, AIDS deaths have already
declined massively
32
The curves of HIV mortality and incidence have both already been bent
The cost of HIV in South Africa will continue to rise…
33
The government targets scenario is affordable under the current budget
Even under baseline, the cost of HIV will increase every year over the next 20 years, by 140%
… but could start decreasing over the next 10-15 years
34
90/90/90 will cost more until 2031,
then decrease below baseline
Even the constrained optimisation requires
additional investment in the long run, but will cost less
than baseline from 2024 on

Can we improve the efficiency of services?
• “Budget” scenario:
Based on 90/90/90 optimisation scenario, but more feasible and more efficient
• Shifted out scale-up of UTT until 2017/18 (and slower)
– everything else to 2015/16
• Added efficiency factors and enablers that were
– suggested during stakeholder process and
– documented government policy
even if no evidence to their effectiveness

The inclusion of enablers decides whether the Budget
scenario can be funded by the current budget
The Budget scenario will increase the 2016/17 HIV budget by 21% with enablers…
It will require additional funding for foreseeable future (15-20 years)
… and reduce it by 7% without enablers.

Conclusions of the HIV Investment Case:
Impact (1)
43
• The South African Investment Case will not result in a programme which “bends the curve” of HIV incidence or deaths.
• Government policy is already relatively efficient, but can be improved:– Increase condom availability to 570 million per year (below current targets)
– Increase access to male medical circumcision, but lower current targets
– Implement social and behavioural change communication programmes that focuses on
• increasing HIV testing uptake in adolescents
• discouraging multiple sexual partners
– Use the money saved to scale up ART as much as possible.
Conclusions of the HIV Investment Case:
Impact (2)
44
• If we want to reach the 90/90/90 targets by 2020, we need to – increase testing to >35 million tests per year for the foreseeable future,
using all testing modalities (home-based testing, mobile testing, PICT, etc)
– initiate between 670,000 and 900,000 people on ART per year until 2019
– have 5.7 million people on ART by 2018/19
– increase availability of adherence clubs and home-based ART (the only cost saving interventions we found).
• We did not find critical enablers to be able to compete with other interventions on the base of HIV endpoints, but there are other reasons why they need to be scaled up further.

• In South Africa, we can’t save money by front loading the HIV budget over a short period of time
• The total cost of the HIV programme will increase no matter the mix of interventions chosen because of South Africa’s generalised epidemic and government’s pre-existing commitment to fund lifelong ART to existing patients.
• It is in the hands of the government to decide when total costs will start to decrease- spending more later will lead to a increase in total spend. Over the next 20 years, the HIV budget will increase
– by 140% under the Baseline scenario
– by 120% under the Constrained optimisation
– by 130% under the 90/90/90 scenario.
• Increasing the efficiency of services first, before expanding eligibility and coverage, is more cost effective than the other way around.

Conclusions
• National and global incidence & mortality targets in 2025 are obtainable
with current interventions available.
• Finding and successfully treating TB now can reduce incidence and impact
of TB over the next 20 years.
• TB targets will not be reached by HIV prevention and treatment alone. A
comprehensive, combination package of TB and HIV prevention,
intensified case finding, diagnosis and high quality treatment is required.
• However, TB costs will come down after 5 years of high investments.

Can we afford it….?
HIV has been taking increasing share of the health budget
But the health budget has been receiving reduced share of the total
public budget (although increasing in nominal terms)
Over MTEF, the HIV allocations continue to increase, but at slower rate
– have we reached the ceiling for public funds for HIV?
Economic performance has been slow, affects the revenue from
taxation and therefore public funds available
Need to maximise impact and minimise wastage
Alternative funding domestic sources:
Earmarked special taxes/ levies?
Increase ‘sin taxes’?
Airtime taxes
Currency conversion tax
Financial transaction tax
Social impact bonds for HIV
Can we afford not to take bold steps to eliminate HIV?

Limitations of the analysis
63
• HIV Investment Case:– Key populations analysis is based on different model
– 20-year projection period disadvantages interventions with late impact, eg EIMC
– No evidence of effect ≠ evidence of no effect • Much more research needed on effectiveness of efficiency factors and enablers
– Many unit costs based on ingredient costing• Much more research needed on costs of MMC, HCT, efficiency factors and enablers
– No clear idea of departments’ and Treasury’s willingness to pay
• TB Investment Case:– Models the what if, not how
– Costs of scale-up not included
– High-risk groups not explicitly modelled
– EPTB not explicitly modelled
Knowledge gaps
64
Impact:• For many programme areas, only limited data on effectiveness
– Pre-ART care– SBCC– PrEP, PEP– TB efficiency factors– Almost all enablers that are currently funded from the HIV budget
Cost:• Many critical unit costs based on ingredients or expenditure rather than full cost
analysis:– MMC– SBCC– PrEP– Enablers
ABSENCE OF DATA ON EFFECTIVENESS ≠ ABSENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS but without impact data we can’t ascertain the value of an intervention We need more, rather than less, evaluation (including of cost) Please work with us to make phase 2 and 3 more meaningful.
Implementation: District Implementation Plans
and GFATM concept note
Results of the IC are used in
1. 90/90/90 HIV and TB District Implementation Plans– District-level HIV Business Plans from 2016/17 on
– Used unit cost and interventions from IC
– Phase 3 will generate district-level target populations and potentially new optimisation
2. 2015 GFATM Concept Note– Mostly for key populations services
– Used IC results for gap analysis
THE VALUE OF THE INVESTMENT CASE LIES IN WHETHER OR NOT THE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED.
WE NEED ALL OF YOU FOR THIS.
