South Africa HIV and AIDS Multi-Sectoral Support Program

South Africa's National HIV and AIDS and STD Strategic Plan takes a comprehensive multisectoral approach for addressing the epidemic. While much has been achieved, considerable challenges remain including the need to strengthen institutional capacity and scale up the national response.

The DFID funded HIV and AIDS multisectoral Support Program aims to strengthen the capacity of partners in the government, civil society, and the private sector to achieve the objectives of the plan. The program provides technical support on HIV and AIDS to three national government departments, three provincial governments, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS), and a number of civil society organizations.

The program is, for example, currently supporting the development of provincial HIV and AIDS strategies and a significant program to build the capacity of home and community based care organizations.

Constella Futures is the managing consultant for the program in conjunction with the Centre for AIDS Development, Research and Evaluation (CADRE).
