National HIV/AIDS Action Plan and Budget 2005-06: A Public/Private Partnership to scale up the HIV/AIDS response in Nepal

The National HIV/AIDS Action Plan and Budget for 2005-2006 was produced following extensive consultation about the extent of the problem, and what needs to be done about it. Stakeholders – i.e. government officials, representatives of beneficiary groups, broader civil society actors, and donor partners – are all agreed that the Action Plan provides the single point of reference for the HIV/AIDS response in Nepal.

The 2005-06 Action Plan addresses needs and issues that have emerged as a result of the current broader social, economic, and political context of the country and of developments within the community of stakeholders in HIV and AIDS.
