(2022-2023) NPL.S4 Coordination, convening and country implementation support

Building on the accumulated expertise, systems and partnerships of the HIV response and on broader health and development efforts, the UNAIDS Secretariat works with countries and communities to strengthen national mechanisms for effective coordination and coherence. UN Joint Teams on AIDS in countries and other regional interagency mechanisms support inclusive and sustainable national HIV responses that promote a whole-of-government and whole-of society efforts to end inequalities and end AIDS as a public health threat. Together with communities and duty bearers, the Joint Teams use an inequalities lens to identify people who are being left behind and to urgently reduce the inequalities, inequities and exclusion experienced by people living with, affected by and at risk of HIV, including in humanitarian or other extreme circumstances.
