Financing the Response to HIV in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: International Assistance from Donor Governments in 2015
Executive Summary
This analysis counts donor government contributions to multilateral organizations as part of donor government disbursements (in addition to their bilateral disbursements to countries). But donor contributions to multilateral organizations are not necessarily disbursed to countries in the same year. A separate analysis by UNAIDS (UNAIDS: PREVENTION GAP REPORT, Geneva, 2016.), which assesses funding disbursed to countries (including multilateral disbursements), finds that such funding fell for the second year in a row. This is due to the fact that in 2014, the Global Fund showed a one-time decrease in disbursements to countries, attributable to the roll out of a new funding model and in 2015, funding fell due to decreases in bilateral disbursements by donor governments.

- The UNITAID decrease in 2015 is largely attributable to a one-time payment in 2014 of $42.9 million by Brazil.
- For the three year period 2015-2017, DFID has committed to make a contribution of up to £132 million in three equal payments of £44 million each. Promissory Notes will be deposited according to need.
Based on analysis of the Global Fund’s Pledges and Contributions database and UNITAID’s 2015 Annual Report.
The four DAC members that contributed to UNITAID in 2015 include: France, Norway, the Republic of Korea, and the U.K.
- These “Fast Track” targets, if reached, would put the world on track to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. See, Stover J, Bollinger L, Izazola JA, Loures L, DeLay P, Ghys PD, et al.
