This study aims to answer the central question: “What is the overall impact of current major vertical and bilateral international financing structures for HIV and AIDS on local and district-level responses?”
The following specific objectives will be pursued:
- To explore the effect of funding on local politics and power bases
- To determine the influence of funding directives on local agendas, for example the conceptualisation of responses and the perception of their appropriateness
- To determine the effect of funding structures on the co-ordination of efforts and the mechanisms of accountability at local levels
