UNDP has been principal recipient of Global Fund HIV grants since 2004. Over the past few years there has been a notable increase in the number of people enrolled on ART reaching over 25,000, covering an estimated 13% of people living with HIV. The current funding cycle (2018-2020) aims to address issues of high defaulting of treatment and low follow up rates that are contributing to low coverage as well as continuing to expand prevention and treatment for key affected populations, notably clients of sex workers, children born to infected mothers and men and women involved in casual sexual relationships.
