Subject: ITPC Framework for Women, Girls, and Gender Equality in National Strategic Plans (NSP) on HIV in Southern and Eastern Africa [1 Attachment]
Dear Colleagues,
Please find attached the Framework for Women, Girls, and Gender Equality
in National Strategic Plans on HIV in Southern and Eastern Africa.
Collaboratively developed and endorsed by 19 regional and global
organisations, this framework presents a vision about how National
Strategic Plans (NSPs) on HIV across southern and eastern Africa should
meaningfully address women, girls, and gender equity. The Women, Girls,
and Gender Equality NSP Framework is written to identify key priorities
and sample interventions for addressing women, girls, and gender
equality in the development of the next generation of NSPs. It is also
intended to serve as an assessment tool for on-going reviews of NSPs.
The Framework consolidates the evidence-base, including good practice,
around women and girls in the context of HIV in southern and eastern
Africa and has been collaboratively developed by experts from civil
society, academic research centres, and the United Nations. It is
presented as an opportunity for critical commitment and for advancing
important policy frameworks for women and girls, such as the African
Women's Decade; the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and
Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa; the Solemn Declaration
on Gender Equality in Africa; the Maputo Plan of Action on Sexual and
Reproductive Health and Rights; the United Nations General Assembly
Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS and the Millennium Development
Goals (MDGs). In addition, the Women, Girls, and Gender Equality NSP
Framework is a tool to be used to advance campaigns such as the
Africa-UNiTE to End Violence Against Women as well as in conjunction
with on-going national and regional initiatives to integrate gender into
NPS, including the implementation of the UNAIDS Agenda for Accelerated
Country Action for Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV.
