Executive SummaryThe countries of the South Asian Association for

Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region have

reached a critical point

with respect to HIV and

AIDS.

However, their governments, donors

and stakeholder organizations believe

they can avert a massive increase in

infections, limit economic losses and

save millions of men, women and

children from abject poverty. Although,

levels of infection remain low

compared to countries of sub Saharan

Africa, SAARC countries are home to

much larger populations. Therefore

even at low prevalence rates, thecourse of the epidemic in the SAARC

region will impact upon the

magnitude of the global AIDS

pandemic over the next decade.


6/26

Key challenges in addressing HIV and AIDS in the region includes:

inadequate surveillance and monitoring capacity at all levels; theprovision of sustainable leadership at all levels; difficulties in

sustaining comprehensive national level programmes; the need for

coordination at regional and national levels; the need to deal with

vulnerable groups; the need to address prevention and treatment

issues, such as gender equality; and, the need for addressing stigma

and discrimination issues.

Process undertaken todevelop the Regional StrategyThe SAARC Regional Strategy was developed through an extensive

consultative process, taking into consideration the uniqueness of the

SAARC region including lessons learnt from countries that have

halted or reversed the epidemic.

Following the first consultation of the Joint SAARC-UNAIDS Expert

Group Meeting of National HIV and AIDS Programme Managers in

Dhaka in April 2005, a first draft was developed and circulated to

the participants and representatives of the co-sponsoringorganizations. A second draft was developed incorporating the

comments received. That draft was circulated among the SAARC

Member States, prior to the Thirty-first Session of the Standing

Committee for concurrence. The Leaders at the Thirteenth SAARC

Summit (Dhaka, 12-13 November 2005) welcomed the preparation

of the Strategy for collective SAARC response to prevent and spreadof HIV and AIDS.

Key directions taken in the StrategyIt is inevitable when developing a strategy for a group of countries


7/26

The Regional Strategy will strengthen work at the regional level

through improved coordination, collaboration and partnershipbetween regional organizations and national programmes. This will

be especially the case for TB, HIV and AIDS and STI prevention and

treatment programmes.

Policies and advocacy will form the backbone of the Regional

Strategy. Policies will be developed and advocacy will be strengthened

in key areas including: the development of a good surveillance systemfor tracking the epidemic; development and implementation of a

prevention strategy; development of policies and programmes on

the continuum of treatment and care; advocacy for countering stigma

and discrimination; empowering PLWHA and protecting their rights

to guarantee the enjoyment of a dignified life; mainstreaming HIV

and AIDS into relevant line ministries conducive to a multi-sectoral

and integrated approach against HIV and AIDS; and, resource

mobilization for both SAARC and individual Member States.

SAARC will also: facilitate leadership support for HIV and AIDS,

including the establishment of a high-level committee, (such as cabinet

level), to highlight the importance of the issues; and, appoint andutilize SAARC goodwill ambassadors.

In addition, SAARC will encourage Member States to involve civil

society leadership such as religious, women, youth, media, business

and other leaders.

Other key elements include: collaboration, coordination and

networking, capacity building, training and research. Furthermore,an implementation plan and a monitoring and evaluation system

are featured.
