(2022-2023) FJI.S3 Strategic information In accordance with its mandate to collect pertinent data from countries and report progress towards global HIV response targets, the UNAIDS Secretariat leads the HIV response tracking and reporting, support the identification of inequalities in the HIV response and enhance countries’ strategic information capacities on the HIV epidemic and response with regards to: epidemiological status; demographic impact; HIV financial flows and expenditures; prevention, treatment and care gaps; laws and policies and the scale-up and implementation of monitoring and evaluation efforts.
FJI.S1 Leadership, advocacy and communication to fast track the AIDS response The UNAIDS Secretariat continue its leadership role to establish an inclusive, result-driven global agenda for the Strategic Directions outlined in the UNAIDS Strategy for 2016-2021. It works across all Action Areas in collaboration with convening Cosponsors according to UNAIDS Division of Labour. The Secretariat raises awareness, advocates and builds commitment for Fast-Tracking the AIDS response to end the epidemic by 2030. Through leadership and advocacy the Secretariat works to keep HIV high on the global agenda and builds the vision, momentum and foundations for robust, sustainable political commitment to predictable and fully financed AIDS responses with higher returns on HIV investments
FJI.S4 Coordination, coherence and convening The ECOSOC Resolution (E/RES/2013/11) cites the Joint Programme as an example of good practice for the UN as a whole to enhance strategic coherence, coordination and results-based focus and country-level impact in the post-2015 period. In 2016-2021, the Joint Programme will support a ‘One United Nations’, working closely with Cosponsors, maximizing comparative advantages at country level in relation to other development partners, and supporting national efforts to Fast-Track the AIDS response towards ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030.

UN Joint Teams on AIDS in countries and other regional interagency mechanisms support inclusive and sustainable national HIV responses that promote a whole-of-government and whole-of society efforts to end inequalities and end AIDS as a public health threat.
