The scary bit..
• Provinces get episodic releases– This budget accrues to all cost centres in the
province– Many are still paying outstanding bills from
2009-2012– Suppliers behaved like predators
• The transition from Z$ to U$ ( heuristic pricing !)
• Actual budget for current fiscal release approaches $0
Abuja declaration
• 27 April 2001• Spend at least 15% on health• AIDS an emergency; calling on
comprehensive strategy to mobilise ALL sectors of society– Disease control oriented– No systems for accountability

Government priorities
The DIPI (domestic index of priority investment) ( a new idea)
• It expresses the ratio (very simplified)
Domestic expenditure per unit of disease burden
Government budget per capita
• HIV : unit of burden is the number of people living with HIV
= $15m/2 million people (approx)
= $7.50 per unit of disease burden Source Robert Greener (internal to GFATM unpublished)
Thus..
DIPI for HIV in Zimbabwe for 2012 is
$7.50/$0.53 = 14 • This is extremely high!• In SADC the median is 0.27 and Tanzania its 1• HIV patients are better off here than anywhere
else compared to the rest of the patients in the public sector
• NAC runs on earmarked taxes & 50% goes directly to care & treatment!!

WHO UPPER LIMIT
GOZ MC MOHPROVINCIAL ALLOCATION
WHO LOWER LIMIT
Assumption guide $60/ capita & wages constitute 45-60% of expenditure
High (UL)
66 x times growth in provincial budgets
Moderate (LL)
48 x times growth in provincial budgets
The sum total is …
• GGHE does not protect citizens against catastrophic health expenditure– Budgeting is historical – Needs to be based on essential benefits
(systems based)– Benefit package part of social contract!
• If anything it predisposes citizens to impoverishment.– You better off being HIV+ ONLY!!
Government health expenditure in Zimbabwe is geared to funda) The bureaucracy & not the system ( community )b) HIV
Every system is perfectly designed to perform & produce the results that it does…
