The Action Framework focuses on the critical need to scale up policies and programming for women, girls, gender equality and HIV. It builds on past accomplishments and adopts a strategic and prioritized approach, emphasizing greater coordination of policies, programmes, and resources along with focused, context-specific guidance to help accelerate and expand action for women, girls and gender equality in the context of HIV at the country level. With the overall goals of achieving universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support for women and girls and gender equality, the Action Framework seeks to intensify efforts toward a comprehensive, gender-transformative AIDS response.
