HIV Philanthropy for Key Populations FCAA Data Spotlight

Using data from the most recent annual resource tracking report, Philanthropic Support to Address HIV and AIDS in 2020, Funders Concerned About AIDS (FCAA) analyzed how HIV-related philanthropy is, or is not, addressing the needs of key populations.

According to UNAIDS, key populations and their sexual partners accounted for 70% of HIV infections globally in 2021, though they make up less than 5% of the global population. Even prior to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, UNAIDS estimated a roughly 80% shortfall in resources for HIV programming for key populations in low-and middle-income countries.

On World AIDS Day 2022 - and beyond - we are asking for your assistance in amplifying this data. We have produced the toolkit below with content we hope you will share on your social media channels.

On #WorldAIDSDay, @FCAA is sharing a new data spotlight showing how private philanthropy is (or is not) addressing the needs of #KeyPopulations. https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops #FundHIVFight #WAD2022
#KeyPopulations & their sexual partners account for 70% of #HIV infections globally, yet only receive, at most 15% of HIV philanthropy in a given year. This #WorldAIDSDay, it’s time to truly #FundHIVFight #WAD2022 https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
Even at its highest level, funding for #KeyPopulations was just 15% of total HIV-philanthropy in a given year. https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops #HIVAIDS #FundHIVFight
HIV philanthropic funding for #KeyPopulations by region: 1. U.S. ($72 million) 2. Eastern/Southern Africa ($10 million) 3. Eastern Europe/Central Asia ($6.5 million) #HIVAIDS #FundHIVFight https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
Some math that doesn’t add up: In EECA, HIV rates are rising + 95% of new infections are made up by #KeyPops & their sexual partners + the region received just $6.5 million in HIV-related philanthropy in 2020 = it’s time to #FundHIVFight https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
Despite #KeyPopulations being at significantly more risk for acquiring #HIV, private funding for this community has been somewhat flat since 2016 (except for a #COVID-related bump in funding in 2020) #FundHIVFight https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
Advocacy was, by far, the top #HIV informed philanthropic-funded strategy among #KeyPopulations. It far outpaces overall HIV-related philanthropic resources used for the same purpose. #FundHIVFight https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
A new data spotlight from @FCAA shows (1) how significant impact of HIV-related philanthropic funding is for #KeyPopulations (2) how public funding falls short. #FundHIVFight https://bit.ly/FCAAKeyPops
