| Summary: | This report summarizes the findings of
an allocative efficiency analysis on Armenia`s national HIV
epidemic and response conducted in 2014-15. The report
addresses core questions for resource allocation such
"How can HIV funding be optimally allocated to the
combination of HIV response interventions that will yield
the highest impact?" or "What level of investment
is required to achieve national targets, if we allocate
resources optimally?". The report describes
epidemiological and HIV financing trends as well as
identifies sub-populations, which are most affected by the
epidemic. Based on this information, the optimized mix of
interventions for minimizing new HIV infections and deaths
is identified using mathematical modelling techniques.
Required investments into programs for key populations and
antiretroviral treatment are established and translated into
policy recommendations. The AE analysis indicates that,
using the same US 3.9 million dollars of annual programmatic
HIV spending recorded in 2013, Armenia could avert an
additional 290 new HIV infections and 288 AIDS-related
deaths from 2015 to 2020 if these resources were allocated
optimally to minimize both HIV incidence and AIDS-related deaths. |
