Vision and goals for the HIV response and the
contribution of the Joint Programme
This strategy presents the UNAIDS vision for the long-term future of HIV, with a
corresponding medium-term agenda for the global response. The medium-term
agenda is presented as a series of ambitious yet feasible goals for the global
response over the next five years. These goals emerged from the UNAIDS
Outcome Framework, which has been guiding and focusing UNAIDS work since
2009 by identifying critical gaps in the HIV response, describing the social,
political and structural constraints that limit results and highlighting
opportunities in which countries and global partners could make a significant
difference.
These goals will also serve to orient the work and engagement of the Joint
Programme in the global HIV response over the next five years. The Joint
Programme’s operational plan and budget will articulate the specific contributions
of UNAIDS to achieving each of the goals, driving the allocation of the resources
of the Joint Programme, and will represent the measure by which UNAIDS will be
held accountable for achieving the medium-term goals. In developing the
operational plan, key results, indicators and baselines for the goals of this Strategy
will be identified
