 | The Lao PDR started a participatory, consultative process to update its National Strategy and Action Plan for 2006-2010 in early 2005. Based on the mid-term review of the national strategy and action plan 2002-2005, stakeholder meetings at provincial and at central level provided the opportunity to discuss achievements, obstacles and opportunities to stabilize the HIV epidemic in Laos at the current low levels. The final consultation was held on 23 January 2006, and the strategy and action plan were endorsed by the National Committee for the Control of AIDS on 24 January 2006. At the same time the national policy was revised. Download this publication |
| The objective of this report is to monitor global progress in the health sector as it scales up HIV prevention, treatment and care interventions towards universal access. The current report is the second in a series of annual progress reports developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in partnership with other international monitoring and reporting mechanisms to monitor the response of the health sector to HIV. It follows the 2007 progress report and previous “3 by 5” reports that charted the scaling up of antiretroviral therapy. Download this publication |

| In 2005 and early 2006, the landscape of the AIDS response shifted dramatically. Global pessimism over the unchecked spread of the disease in the developing world receded in the face of impressive efforts to expand access to treatment. Signs that prevention efforts were bearing fruit were seen in a growing number of countries from the hardest-hit regions, which started to report drops in HIV rates, particularly among the young.

| hese Practical Guidelines for Intensifying HIV Prevention: Towards Universal Access are designed to provide policy makers and planners with practical guidance to tailor their national HIV prevention response so that they respond to the epidemic dynamics and social context of the country and populations who remain most vulnerable to and at risk of HIV infection. They have been developed in consultation with the UNAIDS cosponsors, international collaborating partners, government, civil society leaders and other experts.
