On May 13 in Rome, the European HIV/AIDS Funders Group (EFG) convened two panel discussions focused on “New models to improve HIV/AIDS healthcare coverage”. Presentations by NGOs and foundations explored several new approaches to financing healthcare in developing countries, including voucher systems, community-based health insurance, micro-credit to HIV+ women, equity investments by the IFC in for-profit health companies in poor countries, and GFATM health-system strengthening efforts. More than 30 participants from European and US foundations and international NGOs engaged in a lively debate about the opportunities and challenges presented by community based approaches for effective, direct and sustainable results.
