It undertakes analysis and provides guidance and technical support to countries in developing and implementing evidence based national AIDS plans and strengthens national capacity for the effective coordination, management and review of the response. The Department works to strengthen UN system coherence, efficiency and relevance in support of the national response and leads on issues of both programmatic and aid effectiveness. It facilitates technical support and capacity building and partners with all stakeholders, particularly the Global Fund and PEPFAR, to ensure the effective and integrated use of financial resources.
