The investment framework - Critical enablers are not a luxury! Bernhard Schwartlander
Good progress towards 15 million people on antiretroviral treatment by 2015 Source: UNAIDS, 2012
Good progress towards elimination of new HIV infections among children (0–14 years) by 2015 Source: UNAIDS, 2012
Maternal access to ARVs needs to be consistent, to boost coverage during breastfeeding Percentage of eligible mother-child pairs receiving effective prophylaxis to prevent new HIV infections among children, low- and middle-income countries, 2011 Source: UNAIDS, 2012 During pregnancy and delivery During breastfeeding 29%

AIDS: investing strategically to maximize impact SYNERGIES WITH DEVELOPMENT SECTORS CRITICAL ENABLERS Treatment & care Male circumcision Keeping people alive OBJECTIVES Stopping new infections BASIC PROGRAMME ACTIVITIES Social Programme
Current and projected number of new HIV infections Optimized investment could lead to rapid declines in new HIV infections Source: UNAIDS 2011 Investment approach Baseline Vietnam Nigeria Cambodia South Africa Zimbabwe Ukraine
Critical enablers and development synergies are distinct, but on a continuum Development synergies Critical enablers HIV-specific (sole or primary objective is an HIV-related outcome) HIV-sensitive (HIV outcome is one of many objectives)
A checklist for applying investment thinking

Community mobilization increases effectiveness Community mobilisation increased HIV testing rates four-fold in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Thailand Consistent condom use in the past 12 months was 4 times higher in communities with good community engagement (Kenya) Hypothetical circumcision model KwaZulu-Natal : Core intervention: 240,000 infections averted over ten years With enablers: 420,000 infections averted, with modest marginal increase in costs
Legal literacy (know your rights and laws) Legal services Law reform Stigma reduction Police training on non-discrimination, space for outreach, non-harassment, etc. Health care worker training on non- discrimination, informed consent, confidentiality, duty to treat, infection control Elimination of violence against women and harmful gender norms Critical enablers improve the legal and social environment
