- Summary
-
Progress has been made on providing HIV/AIDS treatment in developing countries but the 2010 target of universal access to treatment will not be met. The disease remains a significant development and public health challenge in many developing countries. In chapter 2 of this report the Committee examines how DFID's Strategy will be monitored and evaluated. Chapter 3 looks at DFID's funding for strengthening health systems and its likely impact on HIV/AIDS programmes. Chapter 4 analyses how effectively HIV/AIDS programmes are integrated with strategies for tackling other related diseases. The extent to which social protection programmes will help those made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS, particularly children, is discussed in chapter 5. Chapter 6 examines the Strategy's approach to marginalised groups and chapter 7 looks at access to anti-retroviral treatment. The Committee then examines overall funding for HIV/AIDS programmes and DFID's co-operation with other multilateral and bilateral donors (chapter 8). The final chapter looks at the effectiveness of cross-Whitehall working and, in particular, the role of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in taking forward HIV/AIDS work in middle-income countries.
