HIV/AIDS Programming in Humanitarian Planning
2002-2005

• Highlights
• Funding of humanitarian appeals stable through
  time.
• Increase in HIV/AIDS programming requests and
  funds received.
• HIV/AIDS programmes still underfunded compared to
  overall humanitarian appeals funding
• HIV prevalence not a predictor for funding of
  HIV/AIDS programs in emergency funding
  mechanisms.
• Usual suspects received a relatively lower
  funding coverage.

4- HIV prevalence not a predictor for HIV/AIDS
appeals funding

• In 2005, greatest need for humanitarian funds in
  mid prevalence countries
• Proportion of number of HIV/AIDS specific
  projects funded greater in low prevalence
  countries than in mid and high prevalence
  countries.
• Proportion of HIV/AIDS funds received out of
  requested greater in low prevalence countries.

for which there are no prevalence estimates.

Conclusions

• HIV/AIDS is progressively getting on humanitarian
  responses agenda.
• More effort needed to integrate HIV/AIDS in
  programmatic response.
• More effort needed in dialogue to ensure donors
  buy in on HIV/AIDS in Emergencies agenda.
• Why are HIV/AIDS funding requests comparatively
  better received in less obvious settings (lower
  HIV prevalence, outside SSA)?
