Objectives

Fund objectives

Fund scope 

A strong effective and efficient health system that can provide sustainable HIV/AIDS responses is critical for achieving national goals and global HIV/AIDS targets. The Joint Programme for AIDS Support in Uganda compliments its national HIV response by bringing partners together to collaborate on reducing new HIV infections, securing sustainable financing for HIV/AIDS treatment, and attaining 90-90-90 targets.  

Aligned with Outcome 4 of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for Uganda, the primary aim is to reduce rates of HIV by focusing on addressing the social, cultural, and economic causes of vulnerability. Using a collaborative approach, programme stakeholders from the government, United Nations, donor community, and civil society work together to enhance overall coherence and coverage, delivering improved health outcomes in the areas of nutrition, preventative and rehabilitative health services, and sexual and reproductive health rights and information, as well as enhance delivery of HIV prevention services; increase uptake of ARV therapy; roll-out initiatives that cater to people living with HIV and vulnerable communities, and address socio-economic trends that have an adverse effect on the spread of HIV/AIDS.

All programme activities take into account Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 2030 Agenda priorities, and are designed to put Uganda on the 90-90-90 fast track. 

Strategic and results framework 

The results framework for the Joint Programme illustrates the extent to which activities contribute to national and global outcomes. The majority of interventions help strengthen national policy frameworks, advocacy and resource mobilization efforts, leadership in the medical and governance communities, and programme coordination.  

The Joint Programme contributes to the achievement of outcomes identified under the UNDAF strategy on HIV/AIDS. The goal is to reduce HIV incidence by 40% by addressing various social, cultural, and economic causes. Specific outcomes linked to the programme: 

• Outcome 4.1: Mainstream HIV/AIDS government responses, and improve planning, programming, budgeting, coordination, systems integration and the policy and legislative environments. 
• Outcome 4.2: Provide universal access to evidence-based, quality-assured HIV prevention services that lead to service uptake, sustained behavioural change, and a reduction in the number of new infections. 
• Outcome 4.3: Improve the quality of life for people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and reduce their vulnerability. 
• Outcome 4.4: Effectively manage HIV/AIDS pandemic responses through strategic information platforms, events, and campaigns, and a comprehensive system of results-based measurement tools and surveillance. 

Aside from focusing on HIV/AIDS, Joint Programme efforts also contribute to achieving several SDGs and global targets that focus on non-communicable diseases and malaria.
