Applications

The Integrated Health Tool for Planning and Costing is a model to be used for supporting national strategic health planning in low- and middle-income countries. The tool facilitates an assessment of resource needs associated with key strategic activities and their associated costs, with a focus on integrated planning and strengthening health systems.This model is designed in a modular fashion allowing for program specific costing as well as health system component costing.

The Integrated Health Tool for planning and costing (IHT) is a web-based tool designed to support national strategic health planning over the medium term*. The tool provides planners with a single framework to assess costs, health impact, scenario comparisons and financing strategies for one or multiple diseases, or health sector wide. The Tuberculosis (TB) Module of IHT supports this analysis by including default estimates and cost inputs that can be adapted by the user. These include estimates of populations needing TB services, costing for TB service delivery and associated programme and health system costs, and optional estimates of impact using either statistical or dynamical impact models.

*The Integrated Health Tool is a next-generation version of the OneHealth Tool and represents the migration of the desktop OneHealth Tool to the web, along with upgrades and rebranding as the Integrated Health Tool.

Developed with funding from The Global Fund, this database collates existing cost data for implementing AGYW interventions, to enable more effective planning and budgeting for national AGYW programs.

Provide decision-makers with improved resources to estimate the costs of HIV and tuberculosis (TB) programs. This initiative, the Global Health Cost Consortium (GHCC), is a three-year project, launching in January 2016.

The sub-national viewer is intended to allow easy review of sub-national HIV estimates produced by the Naomi model.

Naomi is a Bayesian small-area model for estimating subnational HIV indicators from national household survey and HIV service delivery data. The model is run through a web interface and outputs key indicators describing the distribution of the HIV population and need for HIV treatment at the health-district level. Naomi has been used since 2016 as part of the UNAIDS-led HIV estimates activity. Naomi is primarily used by health ministries in sub-Saharan Africa to plan and deliver national HIV programs, including quantifying need for HIV services, setting targets and allocating resources, and monitoring service provision. Estimates from this tool are additionally used for budget allocations for the US Government PEPFAR programme planning and Global Fund grant allocation.

The National Optimized Treatment Costing (OTC) tool is a tool designed to calculate total and unit costs of different optimized treatment scenarios for antiretroviral therapy (ART). When national level data are entered, the tool can help policymakers undertaking overall national strategic planning. The primary intent of the OTC tool is to serve as a user-friendly tool where cost data from ongoing studies and/or expenditure data can be used to build, compare and conduct analyses.

• Where will cost savings occur when treatment scenarios are changed?
• Which optimized treatment scenario provides the greatest cost savings?
• What is the total projected cost for different treatment scenarios annually for the next five years, by patient type (with sub-totals for key components)?
• What is the overall unit cost by patient type for different treatment scenarios?

A platform to assist with PrEP program planning, monitoring, and evaluation.

A critical gap in the arsenal needed for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment planning is a centralized source of intervention costing data that is easily accessible to policy analysts, country officials and implementing organizations. This Unit Cost Repository for HIV Prevention and Treatment Interventions is intended to support the costing of national strategies, assist in Global Fund applications, identify opportunities for sustainability, and be used as an input to economic evaluations.

Two tools for assessing the productivity and efficiency of VMMC sites and A monitoring and planning tool that generates coverage estimates and target and impact projections for VMMC programs

Track20 has developed an array of innovative models, standardized methodologies and tools to enhance in-country monitoring capacity and generate annual family planning estimates for the 84 low and lower-middle income countries involved in the FP2030 global initiative and Ougadougou Partnership.

The Family Planning Estimation Tool (FPET) is a web application that is a country-specific implementation of the estimation approach for contraceptive prevalence and unmet need for family planning used by the United Nations Population Division (UNPD). Refer to UNPD's World Contracpetive Use 2017 for the most recent database and estimates.

The FP Goals Lite tool uses available family planning data to illustrate how initiating or scaling up different interventions might affect a country's modern contraceptive prevalence rate among all women of reproductive age. To use this tool first select a country in step 1 below, then define intervention scale up under step 2 for included interventions. Results under step 3 will update as you change intervention scale up. This tool is meant to provide a quick glance at results based on select interventions. It does not replace the more robust results you would get from a full application of FP Goals. Learn more about the full FP Goals model here.

A critical gap in the information needed for family planning policy, planning and program expansion is a centralized source of costing data that is easily accessible to policy analysts, country officials and implementing organizations. This Family Planning cost database provides planners an easy to access resource on the comparative costs of family planning methods and service delivery points. The data are available both in terms of user costs and costs per couple year of protection.
