Channeling Funds to Private Providers for HIV Services in Malawi

The SHOPS project analyzed data on past HIV spending to identify ways that donors and the government of Malawi can better leverage the private health sector in the HIV response. Analysis shows a strengthened response to the epidemic, but one that is due to increased donor contributions. Additionally, rising out-of-pocket spending on HIV at for-profit facilities indicates a need for developing equitable and sustainable financing approaches.
