Summary: | The main objective of the study is to
provide a comprehensive analysis of HIV and health financing
needs, investment opportunities, and health system
development in the context of the Government of Niger's
HIV National Strategic Plan (NSP) 2013-17. The analysis
provides support for HIV policy decision-making, investment
scenarios and programmatic targeting and prioritization. In
addition, the analysis helps Niger build the case for HIV
and health impact investment including delivering estimates
of health care savings as a result of these investments. The
analysis was implemented by the World Bank in collaboration
with UNAIDS from a request for analytical support from the
Government of Niger. The study involved a desk review of
HIV- and health-related evidence, epidemic trends and
financial modeling. The Optima model (formerly Prevtool) was
used to estimate optimal resource allocation during the NSP,
and the impact and cost-effectiveness of past HIV
investments. A financial commitment framework was used to
estimate longer-term costs and savings of the HIV program
and the fiscal dimension of HIV in Niger. |
