Text Versions of Tables from Keeping the Promise to Support Treatment

Number of individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment
Total of both upstream and downstream USG-supported interventions

Date of Initial Funding was 1/23/2004.

9/30/2004: 155,000 individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment
3/31/2005: 235,000 individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment
9/30/2005: 400,900 individuals receiving antiretroviral treatment (preliminary data)

Treatment Results
Number of Individuals Receiving antiretroviral treatment as of September 30, 2005
Note: (1) All numbers presented in this table are preliminary and subject to change as additional information is reported. Figures are rounded to the nearest 100.
(2) Antiretroviral treatment includes the provision of antiretroviral drugs and clinical monitoring of treatment among those with advanced HIV infection, including, but not limited to the provision of services at PMTCT+ sites, which offer a broad range of services.

Notes:
Downstream - Included in downstream results are individuals reached through service delivery sites that are directly supported by USG interventions/activities (e.g. commodities, drugs, supplies, supervision, training or quality assurance) at the point of service delivery. Results are considered "downstream" if they can be associated with counts of uniquely identified individuals receiving services at unique program or service delivery points.

Upstream - Included in upstream results are estimates of individuals served as a result of the USG's contribution to systems strengthening beyond those counted as receiving direct USG support. Systems strengthening includes support to national, regional or local activities such as policy development; institutional capacity building; logistics; protocol or guideline development; advocacy; laboratory support; national or regional training; and national management information systems. Upstream support is vital to creating sustainable national systems. In Botswana, for example, the government has led an aggressive and highly successful multi-sectoral response with its own resources and significant downstream contributions from the private sector. The government identified the greatest need for Emergency Plan support to be strengthening national laboratory and training systems and developing national protocols. This upstream support contributes to the overall success of Botswana’s national strategy.


Botswana:
Downstream - 0
Upstream - 37,300
Total - 37,300

Cote d'Ivoire:
Note - In Cote d'Ivoire, the USG does provide system-level inputs into policy, guidelines, training, commodities management and monitoring and evaluation. However, due to the political crisis in Cote d'Ivoire, national data systems are strained; as a result, the USG is unable to reliably estimate the results of its upstream support.
