Community-led responses (CLRs) are a vital pillar of the HIV response and central to achieving national and global targets, including the 30-80-60 commitments outlined in the 2021 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS. These guidelines provide practical, step-by-step methods for costing and budgeting community-led responses (CLRs), tailored to the unique features of CLRs. They are designed for use by community-led organizations (CLOs), their partners, national governments, policy-makers, donors, and researchers involved in planning, implementing, financing or evaluating CLRs that address HIV.

This 2030 Prevention access framework focuses on one of those top-line targets, which covers primary prevention and requires that 90% of people in need of HIV prevention are using effective prevention options by 2030. This target is disaggregated into 15 second-line prevention targets for specific populations and programmes.

The 2030 Prevention Access Framework presents in greater detail the milestones and actions for achieving these targets––all of which are grounded in the three priorities of the Global AIDS Strategy: country-led, resilient and sustainable HIV responses; people-focused services, and community leadership.

Overall, the 2030 HIV prevention access push seeks to accelerate the use of innovations, expand use of the most cost-effective interventions, and confront the sustainability challenges facing the HIV response.

The Gender Assessment Tool for National HIV Responses (Gender Assessment Tool) is intended to assist countries in assessing their HIV epidemic, context and response through an intersectional gender lens, with the aim of strengthening gender-transformative, equitable and rights-based HIV responses. The 2025 tool places greater emphasis on cost-effectiveness, alignment with national plans, integration and sustainability. Together with a new costing tool and monitoring and evaluation plan template, it is designed to inform the development of country investment cases, funding requests to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and other key national opportunities.

The National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) is a comprehensive, systematic approach to tracking HIV expenditures and analysing financial resources dedicated to the HIV response within a country (or within a region or specific subnational area), or as a stand-alone deeper dive into the community-led response (CLR).

The checklist and reference list is meant to complement and build on the most recent normative guidelines produced by UNAIDS Cosponsors and the Secretariat and not to replace them. The checklist has built-in hyperlinks for such guidelines for easy reference. The checklist and reference list has two parts: high-level cross-cutting content (Part A) and specific programme content (Part B). Part A applies to all countries and contains situation and response analysis, the NSP development process, the goal, targets and priority-setting of the NSP and the principles of human rights and gender equity and sustainability. Part B comprises the programme requirements of prevention, treatment and care, comorbidities and integration, social protection, health systems, community engagement, human rights and gender equity, efficiency and effectiveness, governance, management and accountability, HIV and the humanitarian response. Countries need to select the relevant elements of Part B depending on the country-specific context and consensus among the key stakeholders on what is needed. This checklist, including the yes or no choice and justification, is not meant to be submitted to UNAIDS but is intended to assist the NSP development and review team to systematically think through the options and make an evidence-informed decision for the country to produce a meaningful and useful NSP or review report.

This document provides paediatric HIV programme managers with an overview of how paediatric and adolescent estimates are produced, what the technical challenges and gaps in the data are, how those challenges are being addressed and what paediatric HIV programme managers and monitoring officers can do to improve their national estimates of the number of children and adolescents living with HIV.
