Effects of the global fund HIV/AIDS programmes in Ukraine

Ukraine has one of the highest and most rapidly growing rates of HIV/AIDS in Europe with estimated numbers of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) reaching 400,000 in 2008. Since 2003 several Global Health Initiatives (GHIs) have committed to providing over US$ 300 million towards the control of HIV/AIDS in Ukraine. These funding mechanisms have had a significant impact on the availability of services for PLWHA and populations at risk of being infected. GHIs have also had an impact on the health system including on human resources, governance and management capacity, and on nongovernmental providers of HIV/AIDS services. This policy brief highlights the effects of the largest external funder of HIV/AIDS programmes in Ukraine, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) and provides recommendations to improve the effectiveness of future funding and increase accessibility of HIV/AIDS services. It is based on research conducted in 2006-2008 in three regions: Kyiv, Odessa and L’viv

Global Health Initiatives and Human Resources for HIV/AIDS Services in Malawi, Uganda and Zambia

In most sub-Saharan African countries, a region where just 3% of the world’s health workforce treat and care for 25% of the global disease burden, significant investment in Human Resources for HIV/ AIDS services (HR) is required. This briefing paper summarises the effect that scale-up of funds from three GHIs – the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and the World Bank Multi-country AIDS Program (MAP) – has had on HR in 3 countries: Malawi, Uganda and Zambia. Drawing on primary data from country studies conducted by researchers from the Global HIV/AIDS Initiatives Network (GHIN), this briefing paper focuses on a set of interrelated HR components: numbers of health workers, workload, training, and incentives and motivation

Resumen

Los principales objetivos de Educación Superior: Nuevos Retos y Roles Emergentes para el Desarrollo Humano y Social, constituyen lo último en cuanto a conocimiento, investigación, experiencias y buenas prácticas para considerar y proponer nuevas rutas para el intercambio de valores entre las instituciones de educación superior y la sociedad. Esto puede lograrse si reconsideramos el rol que le asignamos a la educación superior en términos de su contribución al desarrollo humano y social en los ámbitos económico, político, social, ambiental y cultural.Peer Reviewe
