- UNAIDS Outlook 2010

- According to new data in the 2009 AIDS epidemic update, new HIV infections have been reduced by 17% over the past eight years.
- Joint reviews of national AIDS responses: a guidance paper
- This Paper sets out the rationale for JointReviews. It underlines the principles that should govern these reviews, outlines their scope and objectives, and the links to other HIV-related review processes. Specifically, it offers broad guidance for planning, implementing, and following up on joint reviews that can beadapted and tailored to different contexts.
- Evaluating Social Change Communication for HIV/AIDS: New directions
- In this paper we explore a range of innovative approaches to evaluation that to date have been largely unknown or underused in the field of HIV and AIDS. Reflecting on dominant evaluation practice – in the context of wider shifts in HIV and AIDS programming – we highlight how innovations in evaluation and learning from various social sciences fields can be used to strengthen the assessment of social change, especially social change in how communities and individuals manage HIV.
- Denying Entry, Stay and Residence due to HIV Status
- Restrictions on stay and residence based on HIV status not only deny equal freedom of movement to HIV-positive people, they also affect their health, development and other human rights.
- National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA): classification and definitions
- This document presents the classification to produce National AIDS Spending Assessments (NASA), which was designed for tracking resources of the national responses to the HIV epidemic.
- The impact of HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence: an annotated bibliography
- The impact of HIV-related restrictions on entry, stay and residence: an annotated bibliography was commissioned by the International Task Team on HIV-related Travel Restrictions. The Task Team was established by UNAIDS in January 2008 as an advisory/technical group whose role was to galvanize attention to such restrictions on national, regional and international agendas, calling for and supporting efforts towards their elimination. The principles of non-discrimination and the greater involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS Principle formed the core of the Task Team’s work and provided the context in which its efforts were set.

The Task Team was established by UNAIDS in January 2008 as an advisory/technical group whose role was to galvanize attention to such restrictions on national, regional and international agendas, calling for and supporting efforts towards their elimination.

- Report of the International Task Team on HIV-related Travel Restrictions - Findings and Recommendations - December 2008
- This is the Report of the Task Team, presenting its Findings and Recommendations. The Task Team affirmed that HIV-specific restrictions on entry, stay and residence based on HIV status are discriminatory, do not protect the public health and are overly broad in terms of rationally identifying those whose entry or stay might result in an undue burden on public monies. According to the Task Team, such restrictions have always been ineffective but have become even more inappropriate in the age of globalization, increased travel, treatment for HIV, and national and international commitments to universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support and the protection of the human rights of people living with HIV.
- Implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS: Core Indicators
- Maintaining the momentum and monitoring progress are essential
- Monitoring the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS : guidelines on construction of core indicators : 2010 reporting.
- The purpose of these guidelines is to provide National AIDS Councils (or equivalent) with technical guidance on how to measure the revised list of core indicators for the implementation of the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, adopted by Member States of the United Nations during the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS in June 2001. These guidelines provide technical guidance on the detailed specifications of the core indicators, on the information required and the basis of their construction, and on their interpretation. The guidelines also aim to maximize the validity, internal consistency and comparability across countries and over time of the indicator estimates obtained. In particular, the guidelines aim to ensure consistency in the types of data and methods of calculation employed.
- UNAIDS Action Framework: Universal Access for Men who have Sex with Men and Transgender People
- ’Business as usual’ is no longer a viable response to the HIV-related risks of men who have sex with men and transgender people1. Where data exist on HIV in these populations, they show that our collective responses are failing far more often than they are reaching scale or succeeding. Just as disconcerting, in many parts of the world, is the fact that few reliable data exist at all.
- The Global Economic Crisis and HIV Prevention and Treatment Programmes: Vulnerabilities and Impact
- A joint Word Bank/UNAIDS report looks at the potential impact of the global financial crisis on HIV prevention and treatment programmes worldwide. Using data collected in March 2009 from 71 countries, the analysis looks at how the crisis could affect people living with HIV needing treatment. The potential effects on prevention activities were also investigated.
- AIDS and global health
- Over the past decade the AIDS response has played a major role in producing better health outcomes for people in developing countries. The response mobilizes new advocates, networks, governments and stakeholders every day for greater health outcomes. The AIDS response is leveraging the resulting political capital to move and catalyze agendas to focus on HIV, health and human rights.
- National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA): Classification taxonomy and Definitions
- This document presents the classification to produce National AIDS Spending Assessments (NASA), which was designed for tracking resources of the national responses to the HIV epidemic.
- 2008 UNAIDS Annual Report: Towards Universal Access
- Last year was a year of leadership, consolidation, partnership and transition. It was a year in which the hard work of previous decades came together to produce tangible and measurable results. Yet the hard-won gains are fragile and call for a renewed commitment and leadership by the United Nations system.
- Joint Action for Results UNAIDS Outcome Framework 2009–2011
- The global response to the HIV epidemic is at a crossroads. The emergency footing of the response over the past 25 years and the broad social mobilization of stakeholders have spearheaded remarkable action and results. Yet the hard-won gains are fragile and call for a renewed commitment and leadership by the United Nations system. Our joint efforts have produced encouraging results, but many challenges lie ahead.

- Using the Decision-Makers’ Programme - Planning Tool for Male Circumcision Service - Scale-up - Dakar, Sénégal - 2-3 December 2008 - MEETING REPORT
- There is compelling evidence that male circumcision reduces the risk of female-to-male transmission of HIV. UNAIDS and WHO recommend that countries with high HIV prevalence and low levels of male circumcision introduce or scale up safe male circumcision services as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention strategy.
- Reducing HIV Stigma and Discrimination: a critical part of national AIDS programmes A resource for national stakeholders in the HIV response
- Despite the pervasiveness of HIV-related stigma and discrimination in national HIV epidemics and their harmful impact in terms of public health and human rights, they remain seriously neglected issues in most national responses to HIV.
- Executive summary and recommendations from the UNAIDS/GCWA/ICRW/Tibotec expert group consultation on ‘Making HIV Trials Work for Women and Adolescent Girls’
- A consultation entitled Making HIV trials work for women and adolescent girls, convened in Geneva in December 2007 by the Joint United Nations.
- GHANA
- Considerable progress has been made in creating an enviable environment for increased partnerships and a stronger coordination of stakeholder activities for more effective response to the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Yet the funding of these activities remains a challenge for many implementers such as the NGOs and CBOs. A second round of the NASA was deemed necessary primarily to assess the level and trend of expenditures on the various HIV and AIDS programmatic areas.
