1 UNAIDS Response to the Second Independent Evaluation

2 Introduction: Overall a positive evaluation for the entire Joint Programme with call for innovation in working methods Sound methodology, credible findings, actionable recommendations Response built on risk/opportunity analysis and active engagement of Cosponsors and Secretariat Many responses are process based – solutions will come with implementation

3 Introduction (cont.): SIE should be seen as a major opportunity to:  capture and take forward new vision (Outcome Framework)  reinforce current good practices and production of critical products  identify new directions for the Joint Programme  provide insight on repositioning and realigning UNAIDS  allow prioritization and refocusing on most critical actions for the UN

4 Recommendations in 9 clusters: 1. Future directions (1,2) 2. Division of Labour (3,4,14) 3. Joint Teams (6,7,8) 4. Support mechanisms (11,13) 5. Financial Architecture (12,18,19) 6. Knowledge Management (9,10) 7. Organizational Arrangements (5,20,21) 8. CCO and PCB (15,16,17) 9. Organization of the Secretariat (22, 23, 24)

5 1. Future Directions: 1. Mission statement & strategic plan build on Outcome Framework focus on delivery of results positioning UNAIDS in response recognizing the changing dynamics of epidemic strengthen prevention without sacrificing treatment leverage new technologies 2. Partnership strategy recognition that Joint Programme is a partnership in and of itself building and brokering partnerships as central to effective AIDS response at all levels with a focus on Global Fund, PEPFAR, and key constituencies, including governments, UN system, civil society, PLHIV, private sector, etc. RecommendationUNAIDS Response

Appraisals of heads of agency at country level to include performance of joint team improved accountability at country level sharpen focus on joint HIV-related country-level work greater coherence and effectiveness 8. Funding for Joint Teams Joint Teams and Secretariat must not become administrative fiscal agents development of incentives advance national plans balance between funding for teams and individual Cosponsors

8 4. Support mechanisms: 11. Technical Support Strategy approval of new Technical Support Strategy improved efficiency and effectiveness of HIV investments improved coordination and accountability between Technical Support providers 13. Regional Support Teams improved quality and impact of support to national partners increased engagement and accountability of RDTs in operationalization of Outcome Framework at country level identification of gaps in national AIDS responses and support to capacity building

9 5. Financial Architecture: 12. Programme Acceleration Funds revision of guidance to decentralize decision-making to country level linking of PAF funding to Outcome Framework and national priorities 18. Allocation of funds increased accountability and transparency clearer definition of epidemic priorities and measurements of performance strengthened competencies of UCCs and Cosponsors country staff working on HIV 19. Revision of UBW UBW that is simpler, more transparent, with a stronger accountability framework inclusion of staffing and funding requirements at all levels

10 6. Knowledge management : 9. Know Your Epidemic development of action plans for countries based on “Know Your Epidemic” and “Know Your Response” stewardship of a joint “Essential HIV Research Agenda to achieve the MDGs” guidance for implementation in countries of novel, evidence-based programmes 10. Strengthened evaluation joint global evaluation plan around priority areas of epidemic monitoring and evaluation of the impact of programmes and services development of country-level information systems

11 7. Organizational arrangements: 20. Capacity needs assessment capacity needs assessment of all Joint Programme staff at country, regional and global levels for a collective rationalization of staff linked to the strategy from recommendation 1 5. and 21.

PCB working methods shift in focus from technical to strategic discussions positioning of PCB as platform for global governance of the AIDS response

13 9. Organization of the Secretariat: 22.
