Relationship to Host Country Strategies

The USG is committed to implementing the principles of the “Three Ones” (one agreed upon action framework; one national HIV/AIDS coordinating authority; one agreed-upon country-level monitoring and evaluation system) across all of its international HIV/AIDS activities. All USG bilateral HIV/AIDS programs should be developed and implemented within the context of multisectoral national HIV/AIDS strategies under the national authority. Programming should reflect the comparative advantage of the USG within the national strategy, and leverage other resources, including both other donor and private sector resources. As noted, given the USG investment in the Global Fund, coordination with and support to the Global Fund is of paramount importance in all countries.
