- Cost-effectiveness analysis and HIV/AIDS
- The cost-effectiveness analysis is an important tool in the prioritysetting process of strategic planning. In responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic the costs and consequences of the initiatives proposed in an AIDS programme must be known to the decision-makers to make best use of scarce resources.
- National AIDS programmes : a guide to indicators for monitoring and evaluating national HIV/AIDS prevention programmes for young people
- The present guide complements the indicators included in National AIDS programmes: a guide to monitoring and evaluation, by refining the indicators that have already been defined and proposing new ones that are in relatively early phases of development and use. These new indicators are included so as to ensure that policies and programmes benefit from the lessons learnt during the past decade and to provide experience of their measurement and use.
- A study of the Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV/AIDS (PANCAP) : common goals, shared responses
- This case study documents the experience of the Pan Caribbean Partnership Against AIDS (PANCAP) to mobilize the response to AIDS in the region. It highlights both the Partnership's successes as well as the challenges it continues to face in supporting effective action on AIDS in all of its twenty nine countries.
- Fighting AIDS : HIV/STI prevention and care activities in a military and peacekeeping setting in Ukraine
- The determination of the Ukrainian authorities has been essential in moving the plans into action. This study will provide important information on the steps that were taken to have an impact, and build up a sustainable setting to tackle HIV in uniformed services. I hope this will also serve as an encouragement to the countries and their populations who are developing their work in this important field.
- Media and HIV/AIDS : making a difference
- The media have a pivotal role to play in the fight against AIDS. It is often said that education is the vaccine against HIV. Many media organizations are rising to the challenge by promoting awareness of HIV/AIDS and educating listeners and viewers about the facts of the epidemic and how to stop it.
- UNAIDS at country level : progress report
- This progress report summarizes the achievements of CRD in 2003 and presents selected highlights in greater detail.
- HIV/AIDS prevention and control : an experience of the Royal Thai Army in Thailand
- The lessons learnt from the RTA’s experience in HIV/AIDS prevention and impact alleviation can be used as a basis for further development towards more effective and efficient models. It can also be a useful example for other agencies in Thailand and other countries with similar problems and similar socio-cultural backgrounds to apply and adapt for their own use.
- Sources and prices of selected drugs and diagnostics for people living with HIV/AIDS
- This report provides data on the different sources and price ranges of HIV/AIDS drugs. It documents marketing information to help procurement agencies make informed decisions on the source of drugs; manufacturers interested in supplying HIV-related drugs and diagnostics at reduced prices; and the availability and price range of antiretroviral drugs for combination therapy. The report also includes information on essential drugs used to treat a wide range of opportunistic infections, pain-relieving drugs for use in palliative care, and drugs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS-related cancer. For the first time, it provides information on the range of test kits available for the diagnosis of HIV.
- Case study on estimating HIV infection in a concentrated epidemic : lessons from Indonesia
- This case study from the UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS/STI Surveillance recalls the reasons for making national estimates of HIV infection, and goes on to present the difficulties posed by concentrated epidemics and the challenges faced by Indonesia. It discusses how to decide on a process and put it into practice, and shares lessons learnt from the work in Indonesia. The study concludes that Indonesia’s experience demonstrates that it is possible to make such estimates in a huge, geographically, culturally and epidemiologically diverse country. Other countries with HIV epidemics concentrated in populations with high risk behaviour can benefit from Indonesia’s experience by adopting a similar estimation process.
- A vital partnership: the work of GNP+ and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on HIV/AIDS
- The aim of this case study is to document and analyse the whys and wherefores of the partnership between the International Federation and GNP+, and its progress from the early discussions in late 2000 until mid 2003. It focuses on work at a global level and nationally in some African countries and in Honduras, with reference to the partnership in other regions. It is an attempt to offer a frank account of what the partnership means, at global, national and grassroots levels; to reflect on the challenges and successes, and to offer lessons learned, for other organisations as well as for the two partners.

- Need for concerted action on AIDS responses : country-specific findings
- This paper provides an overview of country experiences in responding to the significantly increased resources being devoted to the global AIDS epidemic. There has been substantial progress in mobilizing international and national resources. However, there is also a growing recognition of the need for greater coherence and collaboration between donors as they support national governments' efforts to lead effective national AIDS responses. UNAIDS is therefore promoting a set of basic principles for national AIDS response coordination known as the "Three Ones".
- Stepping back from the edge : the pursuit of antiretroviral therapy in Botswana, South Africa and Uganda
- In 2003, UNAIDS is boosting its efforts to secure universal and equal access to antiretroviral treatment, with one of its nine cosponsoring organizations—the World Health Organization—taking a leading role. The campaign has adopted the goal of having 3 million people on treatment by 2005 as a fi rst step. This document spells out what it will take to achieve universal access to HIV treatment: vision, activism and risk-taking. The examples show communities and valiant individuals in action, overcoming the barrier of grossly inadequate resources to become models of effective activism. The challenges remain enormous, but with global will, combined with national and community action, the 'impossible' is being put within reach.
- Level and flow of national and international resources for the response to HIV/AIDS, 1996-1997
- The study used three sources of information to track HIV/AIDS financing in 1996 and 1997. First, 15 official development assistance (ODA) agencies reported on their financing of HIV/AIDS activities. Second, 64 developing countries and countries in transition provided information on the funds they spent on HIV/AIDS programmes. Third, data were gathered from the European Commission (EC), the UNAIDS Secretariat, UNICEF, UNDP, UNFPA, UNESCO, WHO and the World Bank through reviews of agency records, financial reports and interviews.

- HIV/AIDS and young people : hope for tomorrow
- “Young people are the key in the fight against AIDS. By giving them the support they need, we can empower them to protect themselves against the virus. By giving them honest and straightforward information, we can break the circle of silence across all society. By creating effective campaigns for education and prevention, we can turn young people’s enthusiasm, drive and dreams for the future into powerful tools for tackling the epidemic.” - Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary-General
- National AIDS programmes : a guide to monitoring and evaluating HIV/AIDS care and support
- This guide aims to support national AIDS programme managers in monitoring and evaluating public and private care and support programmes for HIV/AIDS. As more governments move towards increasing access to prophylactic and long-term treatment and care, such a guide will contribute to a global process of assessing whether care and support programmes are developed and implemented well.
- A Guide to Monitoring and Evaluation
- This document outlines the contents of the toolkit and gives an overview of the different functions of surveillance, monitoring and evaluation. It also describes the main features of a sound M&E system. Finally, indicators for key areas of HIV prevention, AIDS care and STI control
