Abstract
This report summarizes the findings of
an allocative efficiency analysis of Togo’s HIV response.
The Government of Togo indicated a desire to mobilize
additional resources, including domestic and private
resources, for comprehensive HIV services to respond to the
goals of the national HIV Strategic Plan. To ensure that the
resources that have been, or will be, mobilized are used in
the most efficient way, and to determine the allocation of
resources that brings the greatest health benefit, the
Government of Togo asked the World Bank to conduct an
allocative efficiency analysis using the Optima HIV
mathematical model. The findings highlighted a significant
treatment gap, and argue strongly for additional funding to
scale up ART and increase coverage, in particular for key
populations. In order to reduce incidence and deaths by 50
percent, resources should be shifted from prevention
programs targeting the general low risk population to ART,
PMTCT, and non-ART prevention programs targeting key populations.
