The African Union Commission, in cooperation with UNAIDS, undertook to develop a practical guide to assist the African Union Member States, African regional bodies, the African Union Commission and other relevant stakeholders in implementing the Roadmap. The purpose of this guide is to provide practical ideas for how to take the agreed Roadmap agenda forward to achieve rapid results in both reducing the burden of these three diseases and in developing mechanisms to sustain national and regional programmes.
This guide is not a set of prescriptive formulas to be applied uniformly across all African Union Member States. Member States and regional economic communities are encouraged to adapt the suggested actions in this plan to their own contexts and needs, since each country and regional economic community is already carrying out certain interventions and is at different stages of implementing the Roadmap.
