NASA: � One of the most important characteristics of a classification scheme is assuring that the categories are mutually exclusive and exhaustive . � Using standardized classifications for Resource Tracking allows both international comparisons and comparisons at country level in time trends . � The classifications scheme must answer to politically relevant questions in order to help monitoring the national strategic action plans . 10

NASA: � Comprehensive : An inventory of all resources addressed to HIV/AIDS � I nternally consistent : Totals must add-up and be congruent across different variable dimensions and tables. 11

Transactions • Sources (Public, Private, International) – Financing Agents (to decide the use of the funds) • Providers of services and goods – (e.g. hospitals, ambulatory services, pharmacies, NAP, MoH, other Ministries, etc.) • Functions: (Health, Health Related, Non-health) • Target Groups (or beneficiaries; vulnerable and at-risk epidemiologically defined populations): MSM, CSW, IDU; Accessible groups: military, school children; Recipients of treatment: PLWH, PLWA • Object of Expenditure (budgetary items): salary of health personnel, non-health personnel, material and equipment, administration, etc.) 14

Tracking the Transaction Tracking the Transaction Transaction: the basic unit of the financial flow, that describes the transit of resources from a source to an agent, who purchases from a provider one or more ASC benefiting beneficiary populations, specified or not, and produced consuming production factor. 15

16 “Top down” & “Bottom up” Resource Tracking Transactions

Flow of resources from origin to users: reconstruction of transactions (“Top Down”) Functions Financing Sources (Health or non-Health) Agents Financing Use Beneficiaries Providers of - Specific Target services Groups Provision - Or unspecified Production Factors 17

Results and cross-tabulation system • This methodology is based on double entry tables –matrices- – Represent the origin and the destination of resources – Help to avoid doubling counting of expenditures. • A NASA report typically includes matrices, summary tables, auxiliary tables and synthetic indicators to facilitate the situation analysis and exposition to selected audiences. 20

Use of NASA results • Support in-country policy and decision making process, specifically for AIDS • Provide indicators on the financing of AIDS – Annual estimates of Financing Sources and Functions • Comparison: resources available (PAST) and (FUTURE) resource needs – Monitoring of Declaration of Commitment (e.g. UNGASS) • International Comparability • Utiliza tio n o f da ta fo r c o untry de fine d purpo se s b y AI DS pro g ra m ma na g e rs/ po lic y a nd de c isio n ma ke rs 22
