Integrating Gender into HIV/AIDS Programmes in the Health Sector: Tool to Improve Responsiveness to Women's Needs

The purpose of this operational tool is to raise awareness of how gender inequalities affect women's access to and experience of HIV/AIDS programmes and services and to offer practical actions on how to address or integrate gender into specific types of HIV/AIDS programmes and services.

The target audience for this tool comprises primarily programme managers and health-care providers involved in setting up, implementing or evaluating HIV/AIDS programmes. It includes programme managers and health-care providers in the public sector at the national, district and facility levels, as well as those running private sector programmes, e.g. nongovernmental organizations (NGOs).
