4 Conceptual organisation of the evaluation questions Overarching issue c) The way in which UNAIDS has responded to the recommendations of the first 5 year evaluation How UNAIDS is responding to the changing context a) The evolving role of UNAIDS within a changing environment e) Strengthening health systems g) Delivering as One How UNAIDS is fulfilling its Mandate ECOSOC mandate and core objectives d) The Division of Labour between the Secretariat, Cosponsors, Agencies and Countries (global coordination role) h) Involving and working with civil society i) Gender dimensions of the epidemic j) Technical support to national AIDS responses k) Human rights l) The greater and meaningful involvement of people living with HIV How UNAIDS works b) Governance of UNAIDS d) The Division of Labour between the Secretariat, Cosponsors, Agencies and Countries (operational relationships) f) The administration of the Joint Programme Looking forward How has past performance prepared and enabled UNAIDS to deal with future Challenges? From 5-year evaluation To the future

5 Main conclusions UNAIDS has responded well to some aspects of the changing context UNAIDS has responded well to some aspects of the changing context UNAIDS remains highly relevant and has been effective in some key areas of its mandate UNAIDS remains highly relevant and has been effective in some key areas of its mandate UNAIDS is less successful at managing changes in governance and management UNAIDS is less successful at managing changes in governance and management UNAIDS has a low level of efficiency for accountability and management of performance UNAIDS has a low level of efficiency for accountability and management of performance

6 UNAIDS has responded to context The Five-year Evaluation stimulated UNAIDS towards country-level support, but did not bring about reforms in governance that improve the way the cosponsors work together and with the secretariat. The Five-year Evaluation stimulated UNAIDS towards country-level support, but did not bring about reforms in governance that improve the way the cosponsors work together and with the secretariat. The diversity of the epidemic at country level is bringing greater recognition that country responses and support from development partners have to be tailored to specific national circumstances.

Greater efforts are needed to provide effective leadership and support for HIV prevention policies and programmes.

Lack of a clear joint programme position on HIV and health system strengthening and of clarity of roles between the secretariat, WHO and World Bank has limited UNAIDS’ influence.

7 Governance Formal arrangements between the PCB and cosponsor governing bodies remain weak and have undermined progress with accountability.

9 Civil society and people living with HIV 1 Engagement with civil society and PLHIV organisations has been a cornerstone of the UNAIDS approach and has contributed to their increased involvement in policy, programming and M&E at global, regional and country levels. Engagement with civil society and PLHIV organisations has been a cornerstone of the UNAIDS approach and has contributed to their increased involvement in policy, programming and M&E at global, regional and country levels. Whilst there is good evidence of influence on policy-making at global level and to a lesser extent at regional level, the picture with regard to influence at country level is more mixed and barriers to meaningful involvement remain.

Work with civil society and PLHIV is supported by cosponsors, but there is no common vision across UNAIDS or coherent engagement across joint teams. At country level the secretariat is seen as leading in this area, reinforced by a significant investment in Social Mobilisation and Partnership Officers.

11 Technical support to national AIDS responses Technical support is the key interface between the UN and national HIV programmes Technical support is the key interface between the UN and national HIV programmes Some improvements have been made in coordination at global level; there is a need for better coordination of technical support providers and of technical support provided by joint teams; there are few examples of UN technical support plans. Some improvements have been made in coordination at global level; there is a need for better coordination of technical support providers and of technical support provided by joint teams; there are few examples of UN technical support plans. UN technical support is valued by country partners but remains largely driven by agency mandates, rather than national priorities, and the division of labour has had little impact. Technical support concentrates on short-term issues; capacity and systems development are less well supported.

12 Human rights & Gender 1 UNAIDS Secretariat has provided good and diverse leadership on HIV and human rights and to tackle stigma and discrimination. UNAIDS Secretariat has provided good and diverse leadership on HIV and human rights and to tackle stigma and discrimination. A lack of consensus has impeded leadership in many areas, including harm reduction and the rights of sex workers. UNAIDS is criticised for not being bold enough to confront policies driven by ideology nor to tackle national responses that fail to address controversial issues.
