Supporting National HIV/AIDS Responses: An Implementation Approach

This handbook is primarily intended for use by National HIV/AIDS coordination and management bodies responsible for strategic planning and the management of national HIV/AIDS responses. It introduces the innovative transformative methodologies aimed at promoting a deeper understanding of the complexity of the epidemic, in order to ignite hope, foster transformation and produce results. Effective strategic planning is also emphasized, as a means of ensuring that adequate support is given, so as to give rise to the seamless planning, implementation, evaluation and assesment of national responses.

National 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 new national HIV/AIDS responses. The key objective is to promote a more 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.

District planning and Implementation Strategy Note and Guide
This Strategy Note and Guide designed as a tool to assist district or sub-national officials in planning and implementing development programmes that include HIV/AIDS. The approach aims at increasing the involvement of local people in decision making and shows how outcomes of decisions in a plan can be implemented with accountability. Finally, it reinforces monitoring and review processes as a key component of the planning and implementation process at the district/sub-national level.
