| The purpose of this Guidance Note is to facilitate equal, effective and synergistic partnerships between development organisations/practitioners and PLHIV networks. Ethically, it is grounded in the same human-rights principles as those of GIPA: empowerment, non-discrimination, ownership and active, meaningful participation. Functionally, its aim is to improve future interventions by groups working with PLHIV networks in other contexts. It is a practical guide, based on a wealth of experience and learning drawn from PLHIV networks and their supporting partners in several countries across the Asia-Pacific region.The purpose of this Guidance Note is to facilitate equal, effective and synergistic partnerships between development organisations/practitioners and PLHIV networks.

| To help address this significant public health issue for children, UNICEF and WHO initiated a process to develop a programming framework designed to assist national health managers and implementing partners in resource constrained settings with a high HIV burden to scale up HIV prevention, diagnosis, care and treatment for children who are exposed to or who have HIV within the context of broader child survival and HIV programmes. This framework was developed following an international consultation held in New York in 2006 that included more than 100 participants from the global pediatric HIV and child survival community.

Based on experience in Swaziland and Guyana, the ASAP HIV/AIDS Costing Model incorporates key features of existing costing models (including the concept of target groups and coverage levels from RMN and the functional classification from NASA) into an approach specifically designed for costing HIV/AIDS strategies. It follows a logical menu-driven sequence of steps to walk the user through various set-up, mapping and costing processes, with the end result being a fully costed strategic plan. The level of detail to be included in the costing is entirely up to the user. Download this publication |

| Background on Prevention of Mother-to-child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT) Programmes Of the 33.2 million people living with HIV worldwide at the end of 2007, 2.5 million were children under the age of 15 years. In 2007 alone, 420,000 children were newly infected with HIV—about 1,150 new infections in children each day. The most frequent source of HIV infection in infants and children is transmission from mother-to-child during pregnancy, labour and delivery, or breastfeeding. Comprehensive programmes for prevention of mother- to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT)—including ARV therapy and prophylaxis—can significantly reduce the number of infants who are HIV-infected and promote better health for their mothers and families.
