The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) Secretariat

Mutual accountability: developing mechanisms to ensure accountability and deliver value for money is critical to success, especially across a large complex partnership. The UBRAF is designed to drive systems that reinforce the direct link between investments and results and to clearly demonstrate country-level achievements, and holds the Joint Programme accountable for deliverables directly linked to achieving the three strategic directions

Coordination, coherence and partnerships: the AIDS response requires collective action and continued partnership development with key development partners as well as civil society organisations, PLHIV and private sector. Strong coordination of diverse partners is crucial to ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, and country-owned responses to achieve the Strategy

Leadership and advocacy: providing clear vision, efficient direction and strong advocacy are prerequisites for appropriate global and national responses, political commitment at all levels and multi-sectoral strategies to improve and scale-up HIV prevention, treatment and equality

The Secretariat is responsible for ensuring mutual accountability of the Joint Programme to optimally deliver on the Joint Programme’s shared mission, vision and Strategy. This demands strategic coherence, a results-based focus, alignment of resources with corporate priorities, and ensuring that the Joint Programme speaks with one voice. In collaboration with partners, the Joint Programme will work to generate political momentum and capital to position AIDS and the Joint Programme in the wider post-2015 development agenda and leverage the unique experience of the Joint Programme to strengthen effective UN governance, in particular by strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the global partnership for sustainable development to end the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030, as provided in the SDGs

The UNAIDS Secretariat mobilizes, facilitate and support Member States’ and other PCB stakeholders’ equal and effective engagement in the work and governance of the Joint Programme and in its contribution to deliver on the Global AIDS Strategy and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Lead the Joint Programme’s mutual accountability mechanisms for results and resources, including quality reporting.
