HIV /AIDS Research
|
|
| The Bureau for Economic Research (BER) initiated its HIV/AIDS research in 1999 with a study of the macro-economic impact of the epidemic on the SA economy. The results of this study were released during 2000/1. This research was subsequently complemented with sectoral and other dedicated privately commissioned studies. The BER also commenced with a longitudinal study in July 2004 - surveying the epidemic's impact on business in SA on the basis of an annual survey commissioned and financed by the South African Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (SABCOHA). The latest development regarding the BER's HIV/Aids research, is an updated macro-economic impact study, this time accounting for the impact of anti-retroviral treatment (ART). The study commenced in 2005 and was completed in 2006. The study was commissioned by the Joint Economics, AIDS and Poverty Programme (JEAPP) with funding from the Department for International Development (DFID) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). |

| The SABCOHA Survey, conducted by the BER conducted by the BER |
 |
The SABCOHA survey on the impact of HIV/AIDS on selected business sectors in South Africa was conducted by the Bureau for Economic Research (BER) among respondents in the mining, manufacturing, retail, wholesale, motor trade, building and construction and financial services sectors. The survey took place from 15 July to 6 September 2004 and 1008 companies participated in the survey. Apart from the fact that the survey was expanded to the mining and financial services sectors and certain new questions were introduced, the 2004 survey is a repetition of the 2003 HIV/AIDS survey by the BER and SABCOHA. The results from the 2004 survey did not differ dramatically from that of the 2003 survey. This serves to affirm the findings of the 2003 survey and validate the findings of the 2004 survey on the impact of HIV/AIDS on selected business sectors in South Africa.

| The BER and HIV/AIDS Research |
| In June 2000 the BER released its first introductory research on what was known about HIV/AIDS and the SA economy at that stage. This was followed by a comprehensive and in-depth macro-economic impact study released in September 2001. Subsequently, the BER was approached by a number of organizations to conduct dedicated AIDS impact studies. (Unfortunately, the content of these reports remains confidential.) In the latest development, the BER revisited its macro-economic impact study in 2005, also accounting for the impact of anti-retroviral treatment (ART). This research was completed in 2006. |
