This demands strategic coherence, a results-based focus, alignment of resources with corporate priorities, and ensuring that the Joint Programme speaks with one voice. In collaboration with partners, the Joint Programme will work to generate political momentum and capital to position AIDS and the Joint Programme in the wider post-2015 development agenda and leverage the unique experience of the Joint Programme to strengthen effective UN governance, in particular by strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030, as provided in the SDGs

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. Together with communities and duty bearers, the Joint Teams use an inequalities lens to identify people who are being left behind and to urgently reduce the inequalities, inequities and exclusion experienced by people living with, affected by and at risk of HIV, including in humanitarian or other extreme circumstances.
(2022-2023) MMR.S5 Governance and Mutual Accountability The UNAIDS Secretariat mobilizes, facilitate and support Member States’ and other PCB stakeholders’ equal and effective engagement in the work and governance of the Joint Programme and in its contribution to deliver on the Global AIDS Strategy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

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. The Secretariat will broker, strengthen and leverage synergy and accountability between technical support mechanisms and providers of essential HIV services

Greek Airports B As part of the national privatization program and in order to modernize 14 regional airports, the Hellenic Republic in 2013 launched a tender for two clusters of seven airports each, Cluster A and Cluster B, through the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund S.A. (HRADF). In 2014, the concessions were awarded to Fraport Regional Airports of Greece A S. A. and Fraport Regional Airports of Greece B S. A. (collectively Fraport Greece). The shareholders of Fraport Greece are Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide (Fraport) and Slentel Ltd. On 14 December 2015, the concession agreements were signed with HRADF and the Hellenic Republic. The Project consists of the privatization, upgrade, maintenance, management and operation of the seven Greek regional airports of Cluster B, under a 40 year concession (the Project). The airports service some of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. IFC''s involvement in this Project is expected to: (i) contribute to the modernization, refurbishment, operation and maintenance of country''s tourist focused airports without recourse to public funding; (ii) increase the capacity, improve the efficiency of airports operations and service levels of these airports for airlines and passengers; and (iii) support the growth of the regional economy of Greece by not only upgrading the airports but facilitating regional tourism and enhancing openness and competiveness.    As a flagship privatization initiative, involvement of the private sector in the airports will provide a demonstration effect for future privatization projects both in Greece and neighboring countries. It should serve as a precedent to generate investor appetite and attract further large scale external investment into the Greek economy.

        The project involves an investment of up to US$75 million in euro-denominated mortgage covered bonds issued by National Bank of Greece S.A. (NBG). The bonds will be issued on the Luxemburg Stock Exchange through a public book building process. Total expected issuance amount is EUR500 to EUR750 million, and the bonds will have a three year bullet repayment maturity. The most significant, expected project level impact is derived from improved liquidity and balance sheet stabilization which would benefit the customers of the banks who are severely affected by the banking crisis. In addition, IFC's funding will be used for onlending to mortgage borrowers, who have been facing a liquidity squeeze, as cash starved banks deleverage their portfolios. Beyond the project, the main source of expected market impact is derived from supporting recovery from the crisis and building resilience through re-establishment of sustainable sources of funding on the market from international capital markets, and promoting greater integration of capital markets, both brought about by market enabling and demonstration effect.
