| This study evaluates the efficiency of the National Program for the Fight against HIV/AIDS (NPFA) in Cameroon. Use is made of the Data Envelopment Approach (DEA) to analysis dated collected from the National Committee for the Fight against HIV/AIDS, notably from the National Strategic Plans for the periods 2005-2010 and 2011-2015. The results show that the three services of the NPFA: the service prevention, the treatment service and the service in load of orphans and vulnerable children are inefficient. The NPFA edge therefore increase the output of the prevention service by 1.9% while maintaining the same level of inputs. For the treatment service, its output edge be increased by 22% using the same level of inputs. Also, the service in load of orphans and vulnerable children edge increase its output by 23.5% with the same level of inputs. |
