High-level panel on a resilient and fit-for-purpose UNAIDS joint programme in the context of the sustainability of the HIV response

Ending the AIDS pandemic as a public health threat by 2030, and ensuring sustained HIV prevention and treatment beyond 2030, requires transformative approaches to ensure targets are met.

To promote long-term sustainability of the response, UNAIDS anticipates a focus on the following high-impact initiatives within the context of the next Global AIDS Strategy:

1. Development of Sustainability Roadmaps for low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) to support sustainable, country owned and domestically financed national AIDS responses.

2. Leading an HIV prevention revolution by accelerating efforts to ensure widespread availability and accessibility to affordable long-acting antiretroviral medications, within a wider effort to accelerate and integrate biomedical, structural and behavioural approaches to stopping infections.

3. Development of new tools that support integrated, country-owned data analysis, so that AIDS programme managers can focus resources on where they will have the most impact.

4. Advancing a rights-based HIV response at global, regional and country levels.

5. Championing the centrality of communities through efforts to integrate community-led services into national health and social support systems and establishment of sustainable financial models.
