CHAPTER ONE ~ INTRODUCTION
• Introduction– NASA project objectives– Scope of the study– Structure of the report
• Country profile– Main features of the country– Health system – Financing sources and mechanisms for health
and HIV/AIDS – HIV/AIDS situation– National response to HIV/AIDS
NA
SA
CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY• Methodology
– Overall Methodology (NASA methodology)• Preparatory phase
– preparatory mission by external consultant– ascertain NAC’s requirements, – to discuss the nature and extent of the NASA
estimation, – to determine the terms of reference of the
assessment – the roles and responsibilities of each involved party.
• Obtaining Permissions and Access– Permission from govt authorities e.g. PS of relevant
ministries to access data.
NA
SA
• Sampling and Sources of Data– Develop a database of all the
stakeholders involved in HIV/AIDS as sources, agents and providers,
– Obtain a list of health facilities – Sample should include all main sources,
all agents of funds in Nigeria and all main providers (if feasible, otherwise sample).
– Sample hospitals (if many), same with health centers
– Obtain updated contact details of key respondents
NA
SA
CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY
• Literature Review
– Background information & lit regarding the HIV/AIDS epidemiological profile of the country,
– Surveillance findings, – National response.
NA
SA
CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY
• Development and issuing of Questionnaires– Adjust the UNAIDS NASA format for the
questionnaires to suit the Nigerian situation,
– E.g. qualitative questions regarding funding processes and challenges.
– Sent qns to key respondents
NA

CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY
• Sources of Data– Primary data: donors, NGO’s & all the
relevant government departments. – Expenditure records: From primary
sources of data– A few from secondary sources (e.g.
expenditure of small NGOs captured from PEPFAR’s and other donor reports),
– Or estimate using the best available data and most suitable assumptions.
NA

CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY
• Data collection and quality of data (insert table showing all sources and whether actual expenditure from recipients, or commitments/ disbursements or allocations)
• Key Assumptions & Validation of Estimates– Presentation of preliminary results to
the TWG, representatives of all key stakeholders and sectors.
NA
SA
CHAPTER TWO ~ METHODOLOGY
• Data processing and analysis– captured in Excel® sheets, – Verification of info obtained– To ensure the validity of data from the
records of the source, the agents and the providers.
– Transferring data to NASA RTS, – Export RTS outputs (double-entry
matrices) to Excel® to produce summary tables, graphics and analysis.

CHAPTER THREE ~ KEY FINDINGS
• (Use graphs, tables and narrative to describe as much as possible of the following)
• Total Expenditure on HIV/AIDS and Sources & Agents of Funding
• Composition of HIV and AIDS Spending (overall core functions, broken down by source and/or agent, as seems suitable)
• Broken down by ASC and sub-categories for each:
NA
SA
CHAPTER THREE ~ KEY FINDINGS
• Prevention Programmes Spending Activities
• Treatment and Care Spending Activities • OVC Spending• Programme Management Spending• Social Mitigation, Protection and
Services• Enabling Environment and Community
Development Spending• Research Spending
NA

Analysis of Other Vectors
• Providers of Services• The Beneficiaries of Spending on HIV and AIDS • Functions to Beneficiaries Findings • Comparison with NSP priorities (here you would
use the available costings of the NSP• Absorptive Capacity (this requires that you have
kept a record of the variations between amounts received and amounts spent)
• Qualitative results (you can structure this anyway you feel useful but the following categorization for describing funding flows and problems might help):
NA
SA
Qualitative Data describing Funding Processes etc
• Development Partners
• Non-Governmental Organisations
• UN Agencies Funding Processes
• Public Sector
• Case Studies – interesting examples from the clinics/ hospitals visited, positive and negative
NA
SA
CHAPTER FOUR ~ SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Key points in summary
• Recommendations for (and you can order these by to whom they are addressed):– Improved Public Financial Information Systems– Improved External Mechanisms and Requirements
(harmonization and alignment)
• Improved NGO/ private sector reporting and alignment
• Recommendations for improved, more effective spending – amounts, adequacy, priorities
• Institutionalizing NASA – improvements based on this experience and beyond (link to challenges experienced)
