Value for Money for the community based response to HIV and AIDS
This meeting brought together experts on Value for Money (VfM) methodologies as well as donors and programme managers to debate and assess costing, measurement challenges and use of VfM data related to the community based response to HIV/AIDS. The aim was to structure these VfM discussions around the UNAIDS Strategic Investment Framework, with the emphasis of community mobilisation as a critical enabler. The meeting also enabled a series of costing and cost-benefit methods to be critically assessed and tested for their applicability in addressing the challenges identified. (2011)
