Division of labour



UNAIDS and its ten Cosponsors work to provide technical support to countries to assist them in the implementation of their national AIDS plans.

To ensure countries receive the best technical support in specialised areas, and to avoid duplication, a ‘division of labour’ guides the technical support offered. Based on the comparative advantages of each of the UNAIDS organizations, the division of labour enables UNAIDS to deliver a unified and consolidated UNAIDS-sourced technical support plan throughout the programme.

In 2005, an interagency working group was convened to agree the division of labour. The group agreed on 17 broad areas of UNAIDS technical support and identified a ‘Lead Organization’ and ‘Main Partners’ in each of these areas.

Each of the UNAIDS organizations leads in at least one technical area. For example, the lead organization with responsibility for addressing HIV among displaced populations is the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
