Governance of HIV/AIDS Responses
Effective Governance
 The
effective governance of HIV/AIDS strategies is contingent on large-scale
multi-sectoral planning, which provides the necessary frameworks for
a coordinated response of a diverse range of partners. UNDP supports
harmonization and alignment of UN system and donor assistance to national
AIDS authorities, and provides implementation support for the “three
ones” principles for Coordination of national AIDS responses.
UNDP builds capacity for the development and implementation of HIV/AIDS
strategies, and through the Resident Coordinator system, supports the
integration of HIV/AIDS into UN Country Team common country programming
processes, to increase effectiveness of programmes and minimize transactions
costs.
Key areas of UNDP support include:
- Governance support to National AIDS Strategies
- Southern Africa Capacity Initiative

Development Planning and Implementation: Strategy Note and Guide
This Strategy Note is part of a series of tools and guides to support
partner organizations and countries that wish to revisit existing or develop

coherent implementation of HIV/AIDS responses across a range of programmatic
and operational areas that include national development plans, poverty
reduction strategies, UN Country Team action and decentralized planning
processes. A Response Implementation Framework (RIF) is proposed for this
purpose. Download the pdf.
