 | NASA offers information on the resource flow of a country’s response to HIV and AIDS and can therefore support the mobilization and application of resources. NASA does not only provide the information needed to report progress towards UNGASS, but can provide more detailed information on financing sources, as well as functions, agents and providers. The NASA RTS program serves to facilitate the data collection and analysis. While the program is opened, the user of NASA RTS will find a main menu with seven derivative menus: a) File; b) Data Entry; c) Edition; d) Assessment; e) Report; f) Tools and g) Help.

 | This document presents the classification to produce National AIDS Spending Assessments (NASA), which was designed for tracking resources of the national responses to the HIV epidemic. NASA seeks to ascertain the flows of funds used to finance national responses to the HIV epidemic. Therefore, the resource tracking process follows the financial transactions from their origin down to the final destination (i.e. the beneficiaries receiving goods and services). NASA is not limited to tracking health expenditures, it also tracks non-health expenditures such as social mitigation, education, labour, justice, and other sectors related to the multisectoral HIV response.

 | The National AIDS Spending Assessment (NASA) is a resource-tracking framework for monitoring the annual flow of funds used to finance the response to HIV/AIDS in a given country. The framework aims to capture HIV/AIDS expenditures that reflect the continuum of services employed in the fight against the epidemic. Drawing from the principles of a number of accounting frameworks as well as the interests of local and international HIV/AIDS stakeholders, NASA aims to serve as an assessment and planning tool helping to inform the gap estimation process and the UNGASS monitoring requirement. The tool is commissioned by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) country offices in collaboration with the national AIDS councils. Download this publication |

The main goal of this training workshop is to provide government partners with technical tools, knowledge and skills that may enable them to implement more effective national responses, through the creation of prioritized and evidence-based national strategic plans that are accompanied by necessary human resource, management and operational plans, which also include estimation of costs and measurable targets for monitoring and evaluation.

 | The HIV/AIDS pandemic is one of the most complex public health crises in recent history. No single data source can fully explain the status and direction of the epidemic. However, research studies, surveillance projects, and prevention, treatment, care and support programmes have accumulated a massive amount of data over the past decade. Synthesizing and interpreting these data is a daunting task. Download this publication |
 | WHO recommendations on infant feeding and HIV were last revised in 2006 (published in 2007 as an HIV and Infant Feeding Update – ISBN 978 92 4 159596 41). Significant programmatic experience and research evidence regarding HIV and infant feeding have accumulated since then. In particular, evidence has been reported that antiretroviral (ARV) interventions to either the HIV-infected mother or HIV-exposed infant can significantly reduce the risk of postnatal transmission of HIV through breastfeeding. This has major implications for how women living with HIV might choose to feed their infants, and how health workers should counsel mothers when making these choices. The potential of ARVs to reduce HIV transmission throughout the period of breastfeeding also highlights the need for guidance on how child health services should communicate information about ARVs to prevent transmission through breastfeeding, and the implications for feeding of HIV exposed infants through the first two years of life.

 | This document provides technical guidance to countries on setting ambitious, but achievable national targets for scaling up towards universal access to HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care for injecting drug users (IDUs). This document has been developed collaboratively by three United Nations (UN) agencies (the World Health Organization [WHO], United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC] and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS [UNAIDS]) and international experts in the field.
