As part of efforts to tackle the HIV epidemic, the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) has endorsed a National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV and AIDS, 2006-2010. A planning exercise for the implementation of this plan is undertaken each year which aims to bring stakeholders together with the goal of developing an approved GoPNG HIV Development Budget and Plan for the coming year, containing details of funded activities to support NSP implementation.
This report begins with a review of the NSP Annual Plan for 2010, followed by an appraisal of progress, future planning and gaps and omissions in each NSP Focus Area. Where relevant, reference is made to ongoing work to develop the National HIV and AIDS Strategy (NHS) 2011-15, both with respect to the process of development and the contents of this strategy. Finally, the IRG has highlighted a number of key priorities for the coming year, both to build upon work already completed and to facilitate easy transition from the NSP to the NHS.
