Insights from Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, is a situational analysis developed by Youth LEAD to explore the healthcare inclusion of transgender youth in the Asia- Pacific, particularly in Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. This study was conducted as a formative research in understanding the challenges and opportunities on good practices of transgender health for youth and proposing culturally-appropriate recommendations. This study was conducted under the partnership umbrella between Youth LEAD and Asia Pacific Transgender Network (APTN), under the Project “Transcending Borders: Strengthening trans and gender diverse movements towards transformative leadership, legal protection and trans-competent healthcare in Asia-Pacific and Africa” funded by the Robert Carr Fund (RCF).

The “Engagement of Youth in the Country Coordinating Mechanism and Global Fund Processes in the Asia-Pacific” situation analysis is an advocacy tool for young key populations across the Asia-Pacific region.

About this Evaluation UNAIDS Independent Evaluation Office requested an evaluation of the regional Data Hubs in order to understand and explore: History of the creation and implementation of the regional Data Hubs. The existing programmatic and technical design and implementation of the Data Hubs. The implicit theory of change, i.e., how the Data Hubs are intended to support and link to UNAIDS larger Mission and Global Strategy. Recommendations for the future of the Data Hubs.

Overview: The 2023-2025 allocation methodology drives funding to higher burden, lower income countries, specifically accounting for HIV epidemics among key and vulnerable populations, the threat of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) and the risk of malaria resurgence. Where there is a decrease in funding, the methodology provides sustainable and paced reductions.

The indicators and questions in this document are designed for use by national AIDS programmes and partners to assess the state of a country’s HIV and AIDS response, and to measure progress towards achieving national HIV targets. Countries are encouraged to integrate these indicators and questions into their ongoing monitoring efforts and to report comprehensive national data through the Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) process. In this way they will contribute to improving understanding of the global response to the HIV epidemic, including progress that has been made towards achieving the commitments and global targets set out in the new United Nations Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS: Ending Inequalities and Getting on Track to End AIDS by 2030, adopted in June 2021, and the linked Sustainable Development Goals.

From 2020 to 2022, representatives of governments, civil society organizations and donors jointly deliberated on definitions and recommendations for scaling up and reporting on community-led AIDS responses and community-led organizations engaged in the AIDS response. This final report on community-led AIDS responses based on the recommendations from the Multistakeholder Task Team on community-led AIDS responses documents this work and the resulting recommendations. 

Recency assays use one or more biomarkers to identify whether HIV infection in a person is recent (usually within a year or less) or longstanding. Recency assays have been used to estimate incidence in representative cross-sectional surveys and in epidemiological studies to better understand the patterns and distributions of new and longstanding HIV infections. This technical guidance outlines best practices regarding the appropriate use of HIV recency assays for surveillance purposes and updates 2011 technical guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) on the use of HIV recency assays.

This report marks the end of the early implementation phase of GLASS. In addition to presenting data collected through the latest data call, this report provides a summary of five years of national AMR surveillance data contributed to GLASS from its initiation, presents AMR findings in the context of progress of country participation in GLASS and in global AMR surveillance coverage and laboratory quality assurance systems at (sub)national level.
