Conselho Nacional de Combate ao HIV/SIDA

Published purpose

Building on the success of the first phase, CIDA continues to contribute to Mozambique's National AIDS Council Common Fund to support the plans and activities of the National AIDS Council. The National AIDS Council works with a variety of stakeholders - including local, national, and international non-governmental organizations, community-based organizations, government ministries, and the private sector - to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic facing the country. It promotes a comprehensive approach to prevention, care, treatment, and support for the people infected and affected by the disease. CIDA is working in close collaboration with other donors and the Government of Mozambique to foster greater policy dialogue, which in turn helps to reinforce efforts for effective, focused aid and long-term development results. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the common fund is undertaken in coordination with other donors. The results expected from this project include not only nation-wide progress in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, but also progress in the Government of Mozambique's ability to manage and administer its health sector, particularly in terms of transparency, sound financial management, and accountability. These improvements are an important factor in ensuring that the Government of Mozambique can maintain the progress achieved.
