| Summary: | The report summarizes the findings of an
allocative efficiency analysis of Myanmar's national
HIV epidemic and response. At the request of the Government
of Myanmar, the World Bank and UNAIDS led an analysis of the
allocation of resources used in the HIV response, to
consider whether a different allocation could prevent more
HIV-related deaths and new infections. This analysis has
contributed to the decision-making processes around policy,
programmatic and resource needs to be defined in
Myanmar's third National Strategic Plan (2016–2020; NSP
III) and Myanmar's HIV Concept Note, which was
submitted to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and
Malaria in June 2016. Myanmar has a concentrated HIV
epidemic. The overall HIV prevalence among adults aged 15–49
years is estimated at 0.76 percent in 2015, but prevalence
among certain subgroups (e.g., female sex workers (FSW), men
who have sex with men (MSM), people who inject drugs (PWID))
is considerably higher. Myanmar's HIV response focuses
on the key populations. The HIV-related programmes are
mainly funded by international donors, and managed through
government and non-governmental organizations and
international development partners. |
