Resource needs for an expanded response to AIDS in low- and middle-income countries
The revised estimates indicate global resource requirements amount to US$ 15 billion in 2006, US$ 18 billion in 2007 and US$ 22 billion in 2008 for prevention, treatment prevention, treatment and care, support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), as well as programme and human resource costs. The financial requirements for human resources and programme costs are preliminary, and will form the basis for future refinement and improvement of the estimates.
