Results Group. Health, HIV / AIDS and Substance Abuse (in line with NDS Key Result Area 3: Social Development and Key Result Area 1: Governance) According to the Ministry of Health, in 2014 major causes of death were diseases of the circulatory system (28%), followed by neoplasms (cancers - 17% of the total deaths) and diseases of the respiratory system (14%). Risk factors driving up the disease burden are multiple, and include behavioural (alcohol and drug use, child malnutrition, suboptimal breastfeeding, diet risks, sexual abuse, tobacco use, physical inactivity, unsafe sex), environmental (unsafe water/sanitation, natural hazards), and metabolic (high BMI, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and others) factors. The country is as a result experiencing double burden of disease, having to contend with both communicable and noncommunicable conditions. Between 1989 and 2004, obesity has almost doubled in men from 29% to 52%, with a 30% increase in women (from 50% to 67%). HIV/AIDS and its infectious co- morbidities (e.g. TB), Hepatitis C, leptospirosis, sexually transmitted infections and vector-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, are main concerns. The country has a concentrated HIV epidemic with HIV prevalence among the general population of 0.85%, but this being higher in at risk populations such as men having sex with men (MSM – 5.8%), and people who inject drugs (PWID – 13.2%). More than half of PWIDs (53.5%) were also found to be infected with Hepatitis C. Seychelles is also facing a huge challenge when it comes to teenage pregnancy with very high adolescent fertility rate standing at 77.9/1000 (2010 census figures). Seychelles, in part due to its drug-related mandatory sentencing laws, has seen a steep increase in prison populations since 2006, leading up to 148% occupancy levels in some correctional facilities. Overcrowded prison conditions are known to be detrimental to efforts to improve prison living standards and prison health care services, and to preventing the spread of HIV infection among prisoners. Harm Reduction services available and accessible for PWIDs are currently limited in Seychelles, with needle and syringe exchange programmes not available. Seychelles is currently not eligible for the GFATM. The increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS, NCDs, Teenage Pregnancies and Substance Abuse and other health complications due to life-style choices adversely impact on development as increasing studies continue to prove in Seychelles.

  • Expected Results VA’s agreement with DoD to provide educational assistance is a statutory requirement of Chapter 1606, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 1607, Title 10, U.S.C., Chapter 30, Title 38, U.S.C. and Chapter 33, Title 38, U.S.C (Post-9/11 GI Xxxx). These laws require VA to make payments to eligible veterans, service members, guard, reservist, and family members under the transfer of entitlement provisions. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 1606 is placed on the DoD. The responsibility of determining basic eligibility for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on VA, while the responsibility of providing initial eligibility data for Chapter 30 and Chapter 33 is placed on DoD. Thus, the two agencies must exchange data to ensure that VA makes payments only to those who are eligible for a program. Without an exchange of enrollment and eligibility data, VA would not be able to establish or verify applicant and recipient eligibility for the programs. Subject to the due process requirements, set forth in Article VII.B.1., 38 U.S.C. §3684A, VA may suspend, terminate, or make a final denial of any financial assistance on the basis of data produced by a computer matching program with DoD. To minimize administrative costs of implementation of the law and to maximize the service to the veteran or service member, a system of data exchanges and subsequent computer matching programs was developed. The purposes of the computer matching programs are to minimize the costs of administering the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; facilitate accurate payment to eligible veterans or service members training under the Chapter of the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Active Duty, the Xxxxxxxxxx GI Xxxx — Selected Reserve, Reserve Educational Assistance Program, and the Post-9/11 GI Xxxx program; and to avoid payment to those who lose eligibility. The current automated systems, both at VA and DoD, have been developed over the last twenty-two years. The systems were specifically designed to utilize computer matching in transferring enrollment and eligibility data to facilitate accurate payments and avoid incorrect payments. The source agency, DMDC, stores eligibility data on its computer based system of record. The cost of providing this data to VA electronically are minimal when compared to the cost DMDC would incur if the data were forwarded to VA in a hard-copy manner. By comparing records electronically, VA avoids the personnel costs of inputting data manually as well as the storage costs of the DMDC documents. This results in a VA estimated annual savings of $26,724,091 to VA in mailing and data entry costs. DoD reported an estimated annual savings of $12,350,000. A cost-benefit analysis is at Attachment 1. In the 32 years since the inception of the Chapter 30 program, the cost savings of using computer matching to administer the benefit payments for these educational assistance programs have remained significant. The implementation of Chapter 33 has impacted the Chapter 30 program over the past 8 years (fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2017). Statistics show a decrease of 23 percent in the number of persons who ultimately use Chapter 30 from fiscal year 2015 to 2016. The number of persons who use Chapter 33 has consistently been above 700,000 in the past four years. VA foresees continued cost savings due to the number of persons eligible for the education programs.‌
