The UNAIDS Unified Budget, Results and Accountability Framework (UBRAF) is the successor to the Unified Budget and Workplan (UBW), the Joint Programme’s instrument that aims to maximize the coherence, coordination and impact of the UN’s response to AIDS by combining the effort of 10 UN Cosponsors and a Secretariat. The UBRAF remains an instrument to catalyze country level action against AIDS; it is not a mechanism to fund national AIDS programmes, and its role is to leverage, not replace, funding from Cosponsors’ own resources and other AIDS programmes.
The UBRAF is guided by UNAIDS 2011-2015 Strategy, adopted by the Programme Coordinating Board (PCB) in December 2010. It aims at achieving UNAIDS long term vision of zero new HIV infections, zero AIDS-related deaths, and zero discrimination. The UBRAF is developed through a consultative process which involves all Cosponsors and UNAIDS Secretariat as well as other partners and stakeholders.
The UBRAF itself incorporates three components:
- A Business Plan that provides a framework to capture the contributions of the Joint Programme to support the operationalization of UNAIDS 2011-2015 Strategy.
- A Results and Accountability Framework that will measure the achievements of the Joint Programme and provide a clear link between investments and results.
- A Budget to fund the core contributions of the Cosponsors and Secretariat in 2012-2015 to translate the goals of UNAIDS Strategy into action.
