Funding the Fight

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.
