| Popis: | To plan and implement effective responses to the epidemic policymakers require data on resources for HIV/AIDS prevention and care. Without a complete picture of both public and private spending on the epidemic governments are unable to track and assess the impact of their response to HIV/AIDS. Without some estimate of the scope of potential resource needs to address the epidemic adequately they are unable to plan strategically for the future. However only limited HIV/AIDS financing data are available for low and middle-income countries with most advances in data compilation limited to data for Latin America countries. Current data collection efforts with all of their limitations show that with approximately US$ 600 million in official development assistance to HIV/AIDS for 2000 the flow of HIV/AIDS funding from high-income countries to developing countries has increased substantially. They also show that an average of US$ 1000 per person living with HIV/AIDS was spent in Latin American countries in 2000. This is significantly more than estimates for sub-Saharan Africa approximated around US$ 25 and substantially less than estimates for the United States approximated over US$ 30000. Moreover the level of current expenditures in Latin America compared with estimated resource needs for the future highlight significant inefficiencies especially in commodity procurement in the region.
