What it measures

The average unit prices of antiretroviral regimens and other HIV-related regimens for a country’s HIV programme and the associated procurement volume.

Rationale

The average unit prices and procurement volume of HIV commodities help monitor the market dynamics of antiretrovirals and other HIV-related regimens and support the process of triangulating with people reported to be on antiretroviral therapy.

Strengths and weaknesses

The procurement supply chain management systems (PSM) in countries maintain information on health commodity procurement at the central level. In some countries, there are LMIS that monitor commodities data at the level of the health facility. These information systems may be able to provide the data for reporting on this indicator.
