Preparing national HIV/AIDS strategies and action plans - lessons of experience
Brown, Jonathan ; Beyer, Joy de
This paper on Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV)/Acquired Immune-Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) strategy and action planning has been prepared as part of the AIDS Strategy and Action Plan (ASAP) service work program. ASAP's objectives are to provide support to countries in: (i) enhancing AIDS strategies to make them more prioritized, evidence-based, costed and capable of being implemented; and (ii) preparing action plans to promote efficient, effective and inclusive implementation. Many countries are grappling with similar challenges in developing or revising national AIDS strategies and action plans. While each particular situation is unique, sharing what is learned from experience can prove useful. Developing good strategies that help achieve strong results is difficult. But most countries have already developed at least one HIV strategy, so have experience to draw and improve on. The paper draws on detailed discussions of Swaziland's experience, and recent reviews of 15 new draft strategies. The principles and lessons are broadly relevant for high and low prevalence countries, for countries with generalized, concentrated and mixed epidemics, and across all continents.
