In 2013, the Global Fund signed a three-year grant agreement (consolidating Rounds 8 and 10) for $156 million. To date, relatively little of this assistance has been designated toward the provision of inclusive or targeted prevention, testing, treatment and care services for persons with disabilities, despite the existence of disability-inclusive programming guidelines. VI. Examples of Inclusive and Targeted HIV Services Resource constraints, lack of prevalence data about persons with disabilities, and lack of technical capacity are the most widely cited reasons for not promoting inclusive and targeted HIV and sexual and reproductive health services. As the following examples show, an inclusive approach requires focused and strategic investment of existing resources and can be implemented through cost-effective approaches such as peer teaching, knowledge sharing, modified allocation of human resources and adaptation of core knowledge resources. An inclusive approach can result in improved HIV prevention, testing and treatment services for all people, through development of community-based health infrastructure including volunteer and mobile outreach services and health literacy. Importantly, both targeted and inclusive models of HIV
