The document outlines a new investment framework for the global HIV response. The framework aims to maximize benefits, support rational resource allocation based on epidemiology and context, and encourage prioritizing effective programs. It identifies six basic program activities shown to work together at scale for maximum impact: programs for key populations at higher risk; eliminating new child infections; behavior change programs; condom distribution; treatment, care, and support; and voluntary medical male circumcision. The framework also identifies critical enablers and synergies with development sectors needed to support HIV programs. Modeling shows the framework could avert over 12 million new infections and 7 million AIDS deaths from 2011-2020 in a highly cost-effective way.
The document discusses a new investment framework for HIV/AIDS that was published in The Lancet in June 2011. The framework projects increasing spending on HIV/AIDS programs until 2015, followed by declining spending from 2015-2020 as programs reach critical coverage levels and transmission rates decline. The framework prioritizes six HIV program areas and identifies "critical enablers" like community mobilization that are needed to effectively implement programs. It provides a new model for planning and advocating for HIV resources that accounts for eventual declines in needed funding as responses become more effective.
The Global Fund Strategy Framework 2012-2016 outlines the organization's vision, mission, guiding principles, goals, targets, and strategic objectives. The overarching goal is to save 10 million lives and prevent 140-180 million new infections by 2016. Key strategic objectives include investing more strategically in high-impact countries and populations, evolving the funding model to be more flexible and predictable, and actively supporting grant implementation success. The framework also aims to promote and protect human rights, sustain gains by increasing funding from current and new sources, and enhance partnerships to deliver results.
The document summarizes HIV prevention efforts in the SADC region. It notes that the region remains heavily affected by HIV/AIDS and outlines various regional commitments to address the epidemic. While some progress has been made, including declines in prevalence in some areas, prevention efforts still lag and programs are not implemented at sufficient scale. The document calls for strengthening prevention through priorities like social science research, leadership, evidence-based responses, and partnerships across multiple sectors.
The document describes an investment framework to help countries make strategic funding decisions regarding their national HIV/AIDS response. It outlines six essential program activities (e.g. eliminating new HIV infections in children, treatment for those living with HIV) and underlying enablers (e.g. outreach, stigma reduction) that need to be delivered together at scale. The framework is a new tool that emphasizes investing in these core programs known to work, prioritizing high burden populations and locations, and implementing efficiently. Modeling shows this approach could avert over 12 million new infections and 7 million AIDS deaths by 2020 compared to current strategies, in a highly cost-effective and sustainable manner.

A Community Assessment Tool to Measure Syringe Access ReadinessCDC NPIN
The document introduces a community assessment tool called A PLACE that can be used to measure a community's readiness for syringe access services (SAS). It consists of six components: Awareness, Policy, Leadership, Alliances, Cultural competency, and Establish/Expand. The tool is intended to help communities leverage their strengths to address SAS needs and reduce HIV/HCV transmission among injection drug users.
The document proposes a new strategic investment framework for HIV/AIDS responses to improve effectiveness and efficiency. The framework categorizes investments into basic program activities, critical enablers, and synergies with other development sectors. Modeling suggests implementing this framework could avert over 12 million new infections and 7 million AIDS deaths between 2011-2020 compared to current approaches, at a cost-effective price of $1060 per life-year gained. The additional investment required would be offset by savings from reduced treatment costs.

ICTPH is considering offering a health micro-insurance product to address the unmet need for pre-paid healthcare in its communities. While rolling out an insurance product requires a long-term effort starting with a limited offering, case studies show three common models: (1) an NGO acts as the healthcare provider; (2) an NGO serves as the insurer; and (3) an NGO acts as an agent. ICTPH believes the provider model best meets the identified need, but it implies a higher financial burden that must be reconciled with operational costs and willingness to pay.

1. The greening of poverty reduction strategy papers (PRSPs) aims to better integrate environmental sustainability as a cross-cutting issue through participatory processes. This involves opening the PRSP drafting process to a wide range of societal actors.
2. Analysis of the Benin PRSP greening process found most PRSPs insufficiently acknowledge environmental sustainability. To address this, Benin initiated a participatory greening process in 2006-2007.
3. Interviews with stakeholders involved in Benin's PRSP greening process revealed varying levels of participation and influence. The process provided an opportunity for societal actors to engage with and potentially influence the PRSP, though perceptions of actual influence differed.
1) A study found that earlier antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation significantly reduced HIV transmission between couples.
2) Modeling by the CDC showed that accelerating ART scale-up in Kenya to treat 900,000 people by 2015 could reduce new HIV infections by 31% and lower costs compared to the current approach.
3) For Kenya to achieve these benefits, guidelines and budgets need to be updated to accelerate treatment scale-up, including treating all serodiscordant couples and pregnant/nursing women, starting new and more effective drugs, and initiating ART earlier.

This document discusses biomedical interventions for HIV prevention. It explains that biomedical approaches seek to reduce susceptibility or infectiousness of HIV through mechanisms like male circumcision, antiretroviral treatment, and condom use. While some interventions like male circumcision and antiretroviral treatment have demonstrated effectiveness, research continues into other promising methods. For biomedical prevention to be effective it must be integrated with behavioral and structural strategies as part of a comprehensive approach, and programs must work closely with communities.
This document makes the case for investing $17 million over 4 years to eliminate mother-to-child transmission of syphilis in 12 high-burden countries. Syphilis during pregnancy can cause stillbirths, neonatal deaths, prematurity, low birthweight, and infection in newborns. While screening and treatment with penicillin is inexpensive and effective, an estimated 520,000 pregnancies are still affected by syphilis annually. Investing now will help achieve global health goals by strengthening antenatal care and reducing preventable infant and maternal mortality from syphilis and other diseases.
This document provides guidance for risk communication and community engagement readiness and response for the COVID-19 outbreak. It outlines checklists for countries preparing for or currently dealing with cases of COVID-19. The checklists include goals and action steps related to coordinating risk communication systems, partner coordination, public communication, community engagement, addressing uncertainty and managing misinformation. Effective risk communication and community engagement is an essential part of responding to public health emergencies to help inform the public and encourage behaviors that can stop the spread of disease.
Diseases do not respect boundaries Once diseases spread beyond a localized region, their expansion becomes exponential and difficult to contain. Early detection and containment by effective disease surveillance networks are critical to arresting pandemics in their early stages. Cross-country disease surveillance networks are a mechanism that encompass human resources deployment, rapid communication, and transparent collaboration for early detection and response to emerging diseases and pandemics.

Community mobilization activities aim to address HIV at the interpersonal, community, and structural levels for key populations. At the interpersonal level, activities include safe sex workshops, peer leader programs, outreach providing condoms and referring individuals to services, and behavior change messaging. These activities often overlap and are implemented through community-based organizations. However, key populations still face stigma, discrimination and legal barriers that limit access to services. Greater structural interventions are needed to improve health outcomes and rights for these groups.
This document discusses community systems strengthening (CSS), which promotes the development and sustainability of communities and community organizations to contribute to long-term health outcomes. CSS aims to improve access to and utilization of health services through increased community engagement in areas like advocacy, health promotion, and home-based care. For communities to effectively impact health, they must have strong, sustainable systems for activities, services, and funding. The core components of CSS systems include enabling environments, community networks, resources and capacity building, community activities, organizational strengthening, and monitoring and evaluation.

Last week I gave the closing keynote in the Agile Dev Practices Conference that took place in Potsdam, Germany.
SAP has been on the way to implement LEAN/Agile for a few years now and it has been a deep change in the organization, affecting e.g. the setup of teams (small cross-functional teams) , the way they work (scrum) and the roles and responsibilities.
In this keynote I have:
Explained why SAP introduced Agile, what does Agile mean for us and then.
How we implemented it:
* Organizational changes (scrum teams with new roles – PO; no more Q-Teams)
* Introducing engineering practices by providing advanced trainings, e.g. for quality engineers, for developers, for teams, and show some key elements of those trainings and workshops.
** Customer focus – Design Thinking
** At the end I showed first where we are today and presented some results and learnings.
The Global Fund Strategy 2012-2016 aims to sustain and accelerate progress in fighting HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. It sets goals to save 10 million lives and prevent 140-180 million new infections between 2012-2016.
The strategy outlines five strategic objectives: 1) invest more strategically in high-impact interventions and populations, 2) evolve the funding model to be more flexible, 3) actively support grant implementation success, 4) promote and protect human rights, and 5) sustain gains and mobilize resources.
It also identifies two strategic enablers necessary for success: enhancing partnerships and transforming operations to improve governance, effectiveness and controls. The strategy seeks to position the Global Fund to maximize impact through more
The document discusses a new investment framework for HIV/AIDS that was published in The Lancet in June 2011. The framework projects increasing spending on HIV/AIDS programs until 2015, followed by declining spending from 2015-2020 as programs reach critical coverage levels and transmission rates decline. The framework prioritizes six HIV program areas and identifies "critical enablers" like community mobilization that are needed to effectively implement programs. It provides a new model for planning and advocating for HIV resources that accounts for eventual declines in needed funding and services as control efforts succeed.
This document proposes a new strategic investment framework for responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic that aims to be more targeted and efficient than current approaches. The framework categorizes investments into basic programmatic activities, efforts to create an enabling environment, and related health/development programs. It is estimated to avert over 12 million new infections and 7 million AIDS deaths between 2011-2020 compared to current approaches, gaining 29.4 million life years at a cost-effectiveness of $1060 per life year. The additional investment required would be offset by savings in treatment costs alone.
This document summarizes a research study that assessed the effect of strategic planning on the implementation of the second HIV Program Development Project (HPDPII) in Abuja, Nigeria by civil society organizations (CSOs).
The study found a positive significant relationship between strategic planning and HPDPII implementation, though the effect size was small. CSOs that had clear, well-defined written vision and mission statements were found to have a better chance of successful project implementation.
The document provides background on HIV/AIDS rates and programs in Nigeria, and discusses the roles of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS and CSOs in the country's HIV/AIDS response. It reviews literature on strategic planning and

Achievements and Implications of HIV Prevention Programme among Injecting Dru...QUESTJOURNAL
Background: The HIV epidemic appears to be generalized with new infections occurring among persons perceived to be practicing low risk sex in Bayelsa State. The epidemic appeared to be concentrated among the sub-populations including injecting drug users (IDUs). Intervention therefore needed to ameliorate this problem hence, this paper presents achievements of HIV prevention programme among IDUs in Bayelsa state including its implications for programming. Methods: This was an intervention project conducted among injecting drug users in five purposive selected local government areas (LGAs) in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Centre for Development and Empowerment of Commercial Motorcyclist (CEDECOM) was engaged by Bayelsa State Agency for Control of AIDS and funded under the HIV and AIDS fund (HAF) II project to scale up HIV prevention among injecting drug users. The project was carried out between April, 2016 and January, 2017. The estimated sample size for this intervention was 210 IDUs and minimum prevention package intervention (MPPI) was adopted in the implementation of this project activities. Data were entered on DHIS2 platform and later exported and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. Data were presented using descriptive statistics such as percentage, simple proportion and frequency. Results: The overall target population reached during this intervention was 440 given a target reached of 209.5%. All the 36 community dialogues that took place during the course of this project occurred in the first quarter with a total number of 54 male influencers participated in dialogues and sensitization activities during this period. A total number of 440 peers were registered during this period and a total number of 11,346 male condoms and 656 female condoms were distributed. A total of 243 (55.2%) of the registered peers were reached with all the three stages of MPPI and 427 (97.0%) were reached with HCT. Among these, 21 (4.9%) were tested positive to HIV. Conclusion: This intervention was a success as it scaled up HIV prevention services among injecting drug users in the state. To optimize the effectiveness of this type of intervention in reducing HIV infection among this risk group, future programs should be based on principles related to equity and gender balance.
This document summarizes key findings from recent literature reviews on community mobilization in the context of the UNAIDS Investment Framework. It finds that community mobilization is a crucial enabler for improving HIV program uptake and promoting local advocacy. Specifically, it discusses how community-based organizations are uniquely positioned to address scale-up of HIV services. It also outlines several themes around the importance of community involvement, including that communities best understand their own needs, people living with HIV should play a leading role, and peer groups are particularly effective.

Metrics for Monitoring and Evaluating the Enhanced Comprehensive Prevention PlanCDC NPIN
This document outlines Tiffany West's work monitoring disease burden and implementing scalable interventions as part of the DC Department of Health Strategic Information Bureau. It discusses expanding HIV testing, including routine opt-out testing, screening in non-clinical settings, and incorporating prevention into care. Key metrics proposed to evaluate programs include the number of HIV tests conducted and positivity rates by site type and high risk population. The goal is to reduce new HIV infections, increase access to care, and achieve a more coordinated local response to the HIV epidemic through data-driven policies and programs.

2. IVM takes a flexible, multi-pronged approach using various vector control methods alone or combined based on local vector ecology and disease transmission to reduce disease risk cost-effectively and sustainably.
3. In 2004, WHO published a Global Strategic Framework for IVM to address deficiencies in vector control and improve efficacy, cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and compliance with the Stockholm Convention by defining IVM and outlining its key elements.
The document discusses the advocacy achievements of the Bridging the Gaps global partners from 2011-2014. It describes the program's establishment in 2011 with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs to achieve universal access to HIV services for key populations. Through the efforts of global and local partner organizations, nearly 700,000 people received HIV services, over 200 organizations engaged in human rights advocacy, and key population services were integrated into nearly 100 health facilities. The document provides details on the program's approach and a theory of change to guide advocacy work.
The document summarizes India's National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) which aims to contain the spread of HIV in India through a four-pronged strategy of prevention, care and support, treatment, and strengthening infrastructure. The HIV epidemic in India is concentrated among high-risk groups like female sex workers, men who have sex with men, and injecting drug users. The NACP implements targeted interventions for these groups, promotes condom use, treats sexually transmitted infections, and provides counseling, testing, and treatment services. While the response has stabilized the epidemic in some states, emerging hotspots in northern states require increased focus and attention to fully achieve reversal goals.

INTRODUCTION
The center for Disease, Control and Prevention (CDC) are a unique health organization with a unique mission. The CDC provide evidence-based medicine experience and assistance for domestic and global surveillance, laboratory, occupational health and epidemiology functions and health threats, such as the CoVID-19, infectious diseases, influenza etc. The CDC’s office of public health in preparedness and Response (OPHPR) provide strategic directions, support and coordination for activities across CDC as well as local, state, tribal, national, territorial and international public health partners (CDC, 2019).
Over the years, the CDC has developed a working and effective plan to tackle infectious diseases. A good example was the global response to the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic that affected more than 214 countries and territories. The CDC’s response at the time, was the most rapid and effective response to an influenza pandemic in history. Through an international donation program, the vaccine was made available to 86 countries. The experience of the2009 H1N1 influenza response, continues to inform preparedness efforts for other future pandemic and public health emergencies. However, federal and state budget cuts threaten the kind of success previously seen, as is evident during this current COVID-19 pandemic. The current presidential administration, shortly after being sworn in made some serious changes that affected the CDC’S response to the pandemic by getting rid of the teams put in place to tackle pandemics this greatly slowed the U’S’s response and lead to a wider spread of this virus. Also, innovation and creativity need to be increased to best utilize existing funds.
VISON, MIISSION AND VALUES OF THE CDC
The vision of the CDC is to create a healthier, safer world that is able to detect prevent and respond to public health threats (CDC, 2019).
The mission statement is to protect all Americans and people of the nations worldwide from public health threats by working with partners to build capacity, advance research and respond in times of crisis like during this current COVID-19 pandemic (CDC, 2019).
The CDC provide technical help, assistance and resources to state and local public health agencies to support the efforts in building and preparing resilient communities (CDC,2011).
To achieve the vision of the CDC, it is vital that stakeholders as across, public health, partners, private sectors, emergency department and other related bodies, work hand in hand.
The CDC will demonstrate leadership in public health preparedness and response by adhering to the following values they have in place:
· Engaging partners on and leveraging collaboration (a strength the TOWS matrix)
· Basing decisions on the best available science
· Encouraging effective communications and inform.
AIDSTAR-One HIV Treatment Guidelines in Guyana - The Fast Track to Diagnosis ...AIDSTAROne
This case study details Guyana's process for revision of their national HIV treatment guidelines, based on WHO's 2010 revised recommendations . While many countries are still working to revise their national guidelines in response to WHO's latest guidance, the National AIDS Programme in Guyana has been implementing elements of WHO's 2010 recommendations since 2006.

UN Cares is a UN system-wide workplace program on HIV that aims to reduce the impact of HIV in the workplace. It does this by supporting universal access to comprehensive HIV services for all UN personnel and their families, including prevention, treatment, care and support. UN Cares unifies overlapping HIV programs across the UN to provide these services more efficiently. Studies show UN Cares could save the UN over $57 million over 6 years in costs associated with HIV by preventing infections and retaining healthy staff. UN Cares also advances goals of gender equity, reduces stigma, and establishes 10 minimum standards to guide consistent HIV services across the UN.
Cancer has wide-reaching social, economic, development, and human rights implications beyond just being a health issue. It undermines development by weakening social and economic progress worldwide. To effectively prevent and control cancer, a whole-of-government approach that promotes multisectoral partnerships is needed, and cancer prevention and control interventions should be included in future global development goals to strengthen health systems and increase capacity. Investment in proven, cost-effective cancer solutions is important because preventing and detecting cancer early is cheaper than dealing with the consequences.
Positive health dignity_and_prevention_operational_guidelines_-_unaids_gnp_2013clac.cab
This document provides operational guidelines for implementing Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention programs. It was developed jointly by the Global Network of People Living with HIV and UNAIDS based on extensive consultations. The guidelines aim to shift HIV responses to a more holistic and rights-based approach that empowers people living with HIV and meets their clinical, social and economic needs. The document outlines 8 components that programs should address, and provides a 3-step process for assessment, operationalization and planning of Positive Health, Dignity and Prevention actions at the national level to achieve global HIV targets.
The document discusses sectoral mainstreaming of HIV/AIDS in Kenya. It provides background on Kenya's population and HIV prevalence rates. It then describes the Thematic Group, which supports developing strategies to address HIV/AIDS and achieve economic growth targets. The group evaluates sector policies and programs, provides capacity building, and facilitates referrals. It adopts approaches like developing medium-term plans and assessment forums. The group has three technical working groups and addresses challenges like prioritizing HIV/AIDS and utilizing allocated funds. Evidence shows reductions in incidence rates and improved quality of life. Lessons indicate an effective multi-sectoral response can reduce prevalence.

This document outlines the Cape Town Call to Action from the People's Health Movement. It reaffirms commitments to foundational documents and outlines an alternate vision that values people over profits. It describes the global health crisis as stemming from neoliberal policies that prioritize capitalism and have led to growing inequities. Specific health issues are highlighted for different populations. The document calls for mobilizing people and building alliances to work towards more just, equitable and sustainable political, economic and social systems.
The document provides information on the Transitional Funding Mechanism (TFM) established by the Global Fund Board to replace Round 11 funding due to inadequate resources. Key points:
1) TFM will provide limited, temporary funding to prevent disruption of essential health services in countries with existing Global Fund grants until March 2014.
2) Funding amounts cannot be guaranteed and will depend on donations. Commitments may be staggered and varied to best utilize available resources.
3) Eligibility criteria and application/review processes have been modified for TFM, focusing on continuation of core prevention, treatment, and care services.
This document discusses opportunities and challenges for scaling up HIV treatment and prevention. It summarizes discussions from community meetings in Asia and Africa. Key points include:
- New evidence shows antiretroviral treatment can prevent HIV transmission, offering an opportunity to integrate treatment and prevention services. However, concerns were raised about ensuring resources prioritize those most in need of treatment.
- Ambitious new goals for treatment scale-up and reducing HIV transmission face challenges of sufficient long-term funding from governments.
- Communities emphasized the importance of human rights frameworks and community-based service delivery to effectively reach populations in need.
This document provides detailed methods and assumptions used to estimate the annual cost of implementing HIV programs under a proposed new investment framework. The framework aims to achieve universal access to HIV treatment, care, and support by 2015 through scaling up a small number of basic program activities to reach key populations, implementing critical interventions to create an enabling environment, and supporting related health and development efforts. Costing methods and projections are described for treatment, prevention of mother-to-child transmission, harm reduction for injecting drug users, behavior change programs, and other components.
This document provides a framework for community systems strengthening (CSS). CSS aims to develop the roles of communities and community organizations in improving health outcomes. The framework defines key terms, describes the purpose and intended audience of the CSS framework, and explains why CSS is important for health. It outlines the core components of functional community systems and provides guidance for implementing CSS interventions and monitoring & evaluation.

Indonesia has an estimated HIV prevalence of 0.27% among people aged 15-49. While most provinces have a concentrated epidemic among key populations like sex workers and injecting drug users, the provinces of Papua and West Papua have a generalized epidemic of 2.4% prevalence. Coverage of HIV prevention programs has increased for many key populations, though more work is needed to reach targets. Access to antiretroviral treatment has also expanded significantly. Looking ahead, Indonesia aims to achieve its targets under the UN General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS by continuing and strengthening effective interventions led by the National AIDS Commission.
The document summarizes antiretroviral drug prices negotiated by the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) for its Procurement Consortium members. It lists ceiling prices per year, pack, and unit for various HIV drugs and combinations from eight generic drug manufacturers. The prices are available to over 70 member countries to support public HIV treatment programs.
