HIV/AIDS

As efforts to address the AIDS epidemic have expanded, low and middle income countries often grapple with the complexities of coordinating a comprehensive country-owned national AIDS response that encourages the participation of diverse stakeholders, including civil society and people living with HIV. UNDP strengthens the governance of AIDS responses by supporting national and local AIDS authorities to increase capacity for coordinating action on HIV, including through harmonization of UN system and donor assistance. UNDP also promotes greater involvement of women and men living with HIV and civil society in the design, implementation and evaluation of AIDS programmes.
