In this briefing, Save the Children analyses the performance of child-specific HIV and AIDS spending targets. It raises concerns about the scarcity of data regarding: the overall allocation of funds targeted to combat HIV and AIDS; how much of these funds are targeted towards children; and, the actual expenditure that directly benefits affected children. As a result, even where donors have committed funds for the prevention and treatment for children affected by HIV/AIDS, they lack the mechanisms to ensure that these resources are actually reaching and benefiting children.
