Sierra Leone
Creating Sustainable HIV/AIDS Treatment Solutions
Although Sierra Leone has a generalized low-level HIV epidemic, universal access to key services such as antiretroviral treatment and prevention of mother-to-child transmission treatment is yet to be achieved.
To assist governments and donors, Health Systems 20/20 has developed the HIV/AIDS Program Sustainability Analysis Tool (HAPSAT), a computer-based tool for forecasting and analyzing the sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs. HAPSAT synthesizes detailed epidemiological, demographic, and economic data to generate a country-specific HIV policy model which can be used to simulate alternative policy scenarios.
Health Systems 20/20 currently works with the National AIDS Secretariat and implementing partners to estimate financial and human resources required to scale up the national HIV/AIDS program in Sierra Leone from 2011 to 2015. After reviewing the HAPSAT report with the Sierra Leone National HIV/AIDS Secretariat and the USAID team, the team will disseminate the report in-country and assist in planning policy applications. The HAPSAT has already contributed to the target setting process of the National AIDS Strategy and it is expected to further assist in the development of an effective Country Operating Plan, the National HIV/AIDS Operational Plan, the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, and funding proposals.
