July 2004

Study carried out in February - May 2004

by the Secretariat of the Development Assistance Committee (DAC)

in collaboration with:

members of the DAC Working Party on Statistics and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS)

Current data:

– May not relate solely to HIV/AIDS control as covers all STDs.

– Does not encompass relevant activities that are integrated into

wider health programmes.

– Does not capture interventions outside the health sector.

– Does not distinguish between prevention, treatment and care.

Rationale for the study

Examine, verify and complete data on ODA commitments for three years (2000-02) so as to give

a reliable statistical estimate of the magnitude of DAC members’ aid to HIV/AIDS control.

Scope of the study

DAC members’ bilateral aid to HIV/AIDS controlin 2000-02, on the average, US$ 1.1-1.3 billion per year

Bilateral: US$ 1.1-1.3 billionGlobal Fund: US$ 0.5 billionUNAIDS: US$ 0.1 billionImputed multilateral: US$ 0.6 billion

DAC members’ total aid to HIV/AIDS control in 2000-02, on the average, US$ 2.2-2.4 billion per year

Clarify definition: “aid to HIV/AIDS control” covers activities that have HIV/AIDS control as their primary

objective.

Create a new purpose code (purpose codes) to separately identify

social mitigation of HIV/AIDS.

Identify, and include in analyses,reproductive health activities that can (or are likely to) have a dual purpose; andbasic health activities relevant to HIV/AIDS treatment.
