Leadership Capacity Development

Empowering leadership

It is evident that the world needs inspiring and empowering leadership – at all levels - to transform the response to HIV/AIDS. Therefore, in close collaboration with development partners and stakeholders, UNDP supports the implementation of approaches and methodologies that embody governance in action: bringing together leaders from government, civil society – including stakeholders from the arts and media and the business sector to generate individual and collective commitment and sustainable action in response to the underlying causes of the epidemic. These approaches can be applied to a host of elements critical to a transformed, energized response to HIV/AIDS - including increasing access to treatment, partnership-building, and supporting the formation of legislation that protects human rights or improves ARV access and service delivery.
