HIV Leadership Through Accountability

Programmes

LTA_Logo

Achieving universal access to HIV treatment, care and prevention requires a coordinated response that involves multiple and diverse stakeholders. Civil society, including people living with HIV (PLHIV) networks, can play a critical role in the realisation of national and international targets. Through its work with communities, civil society can provide a unique perspective on the barriers to accessing services and offer evidence-based advocacy and recommendations about what must be done to remove these barriers.

The HIV Leadership through Accountability programme is a collaboration between the Global Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GNP+), the World AIDS Campaign (WAC), national networks of PLHIV and national Civil Society platforms. The programme is funded by UK DfID and combines specific HIV mapping tools, national AIDS campaigns and targeted advocacy for Universal Access. Here you can access the concept note of the programme.

The programme will run for five years and involve 15 countries in total. Within each country, over a two-year period, the national network of people living with HIV will implement tools by and for PLHIV, elaborated by GNP+ and its partners, aiming at strengthening the evidence on four key areas:

Stigma and discrimination (The People Living with HIV Stigma Index - Information Sheets in EN - FR)

The level of involvement of people living with HIV (The GIPA Report Card - Information Sheets in EN - FR)

Documenting and analysing current experiences in criminalisation of HIV transmission (The Global Criminalisation Scan - Information sheets in EN - FR)

Documenting and analysing human rights violations against PLHIV (Human Rights Count! - Information sheets in EN - FR)

In addition to the four mapping tools, Advancing the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights of PLHIV: A Guidance Package - Information sheets in EN - FR) will support PLHIV networks to engage in national processes for the development and/or adaptation of sexual and reproductive health services.

HIV Leadership Through Accountability programme - Reports

Aid transparency is critical to improving the effectiveness and value for money of aid. Making information about aid spending easier to access, use and understand means that UK taxpayers and citizens in poor countries can more easily hold DFID and recipient governments to account for using aid money wisely. Transparency creates better feedback from beneficiaries to donors and taxpayers, and helps us better understand what works and what doesn’t.

The HIV Leadership through Accountability programme is committed to the UK Government's 'Aid Transparency Guarantee' which is aimed at ensuring that UKaid is fully transparent to citizens in both the UK and recipient countries.
