- Abstract
"The Policy Guidelines to Mainstream Gender in HIV Programmes represent NACO’s commitment to address issues of gender inequality in the context of HIV and AIDS. The guidelines will inform the formulation of all policies and programmatic interventions of NACO.
The purpose of these policy guidelines is to facilitate increased and improved action on the intersecting issues of HIV and AIDS and gender inequality by the National AIDS Control Organisation; State AIDS Control Societies (SACS); District AIDS Prevention and Control Units (DAPCUs) and Implementing Partners.
The guidelines have been developed and framed in consultation with implementing staff in the government, civil society including people living with HIV and the UN system.
The policy may be periodically reviewed by a Committee comprising representatives from the government, development partners and civil society. "
