Ethiopian national AIDS spending assessment (NASA) Report EFY 2004, 2011/12

Abstract

The National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) (2011/12) is the first attempt to track all the HIV/AIDS spending in Ethiopia from all sources (excluding out-of-pocket) and across all sectors. The NASA provides an in depth examination of the HIV/AIDS by detailed categories of activities, providers of services and the beneficiaries. NASA applies a standardised and comprehensive methodology for collecting, coding and analysing of HIV expenditure. It allows countries to understand if they are allocating funds according to their priorities and for the greatest investment in terms of impact. However, for all the PEPFAR and MOH expenditure, the usual NASA methods were not applied. Rather PEPFAR provided their total spending which they collected through their Expenditure Analysis (EA), and the MOH provided their estimates based on the National Health Accounts (NHA) from the previous year.
