 THE JOINT UNITED NATIONS PROGRAMME ON HIV/AIDS
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) is leading the global effort to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030 as part of the Sustainable Development Goals.
UNAIDS has led and inspired global, regional, national and local leadership, innovation and partnership to ultimately consign HIV to history.
UNAIDS is a problem-solver. It places people living with HIV and people affected by the virus at the decision-making table and at the centre of designing, delivering and monitoring the AIDS response. It charts paths for countries and communities to get on the Fast-Track to ending AIDS and is a bold advocate for addressing the legal and policy barriers to the AIDS response.
UNAIDS provides the strategic direction, advocacy, coordination and technical support needed to catalyse and connect leadership from governments, the private sector and communities to deliver life-saving HIV services. Without UNAIDS, there would be no strategic vision for the AIDS response.
MISSION
To strengthen the capacity of national governments to develop comprehensive national HIV strategies and implement effective activities.
To promote broad-based political and social mobilization to prevent and respond to HIV.
VISION
To bring forward the perspectives and expertise of people living with, affected by, most at risk of and vulnerable to HIV and AIDS, as well as civil society, to ensure that UNAIDS is guided by rights-based, equitable and gender-based approach to guarantee access to comprehensive HIV prevention, treatment and care.
MANDATE
To strengthen the ability of countries to respond effectively to the AIDS epidemic and to coordinate the UN system's activities in support of the national response. the philosophy of UNAIDS is not to duplicate what others can do or do better, but to facilitate, build on and link up their activities.
