As progress lags in achieving most of the health targets of United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), efforts to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 stand out as a beacon of hope. Since 2010, annual new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths have declined globally by 38% and 51%, respectively. Although the world as a whole is not currently on track to reach all the SDG targets, evidence clearly indicates that ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 is achievable and that clear pathways exist to reach this goal.

This framework and its accompanying toolkit are designed to help the Joint Programme support countries and communities in their efforts to identify HIV-related inequalities and their drivers and to address them according to the Joint Programme’s comparative advantages and capacity—and, in doing so, support the full realization of human rights.
