Abstract
The Chinese government's spending
on HIV/AIDS has increased dramatically in recent years.
However, it only accounts for a part of the total resources
dedicated to HIV/AIDS. The fragmented nature of HIV/AIDS
financing makes it difficult to register the flows of funds
in a holistic and useful manner. More importantly, there are
questions over the extent to which increased resources for
HIV/AIDS have been allocated and utilized in an equitable
and effective manner in order to achieve the intended
outcomes specified in the Second Five Year Action Plan for
HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control (2005-2010). This study was
designed to gain a better understanding of possible
impediments to an effective local HIV/AIDS response. It
mainly focused on: (a) assessing different aspects of
HIV/AIDS financing such as sources of financing, HIV/AIDS
related services and their providers being financed, and
beneficiaries; (b) estimating households out of pocket
spending on HIV/AIDS; and (c) identifying bottlenecks
preventing the effective and equitable utilization of
existing HIV/AIDS resources.
