This report from the Global Task Team (GTT), a UNAIDS-led initiative that sets out to improve coordination among multilateral agencies and international donors responding to HIV/AIDS, aims to improve coordination, alignment and harmonisation of the international AIDS response. The report begins by outlining the context in which the GTT operates and goes on to detail its major challenges. These include issues around inclusive national leadership and ownership, alignment and harmonisation of multilateral institutions and international partners, and the effectiveness of the multilateral response.

GTT recommendations include: creating national mechanisms that drive implementation and provide a basis for the alignment of external agencies; supporting macroeconomic policies that drive the response to AIDS; and strengthening of country monitoring and evaluation mechanisms that facilitate oversight. It is important that multilateral institutions and international partners commit to working with national AIDS coordinating authorities to align their support to national strategies, policies, systems, cycles, and annual priority AIDS action plans. The Global Fund, the World Bank, and other multilateral institutions and international partners will identify specific approaches to improving the alignment of their financing with country cycles and annual priority AIDS action plans.
