Abstract

What is the best way to deliver funds to the provinces for HIV/AIDS interventions? This article analyses HIV/AIDS conditional grant (CG) spending and assesses the success of the new funding approach introduced in 2002/3 which channels HIV/AIDS funds to the provinces via the equitable share grant. Our research shows that on the whole provinces are improving their spending on the HIV/AIDS conditional grants and provinces are also beginning to allocate substantial funds from their own provincial budgets for HIV/AIDS interventions in the health sector. Special emphasis is placed on (a) provinces' initiative to allocate additional funds to HIV/AIDS from their own budgets; (b) variances in per capita spending on HIV‐positive and AIDS sick populations across provinces; and (c) whether prioritisation of HIV/AIDS in health budgets might be squeezing out spending on other health services.
