IRIN/PlusNews Examines How Economic Downturn Might Hurt Swaziland's HIV/AIDS Programs

From Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation

November 17, 2010

IRIN/PlusNews examines how economic issues facing Swaziland could impact the nation's HIV/AIDS programs. "Revenue from SACU -- the world's oldest customs union, comprising Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia, Swaziland and South Africa -- contributed 76 percent of the Swazi government's income in 2009 but dropped in 2010 and is expected to continue declining over the next decade," the news service writes. The article details health experts' predictions that the country's HIV/AIDS response will be scaled back. The article also looks at donor funding for the country's HIV/AIDS programs, including from PEPFAR and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (11/16).
