POLICYs HIV activities are supported by the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). POLICYs HIV activities have been implemented through 27 country offices and four regional programs bringing the projects presence to over 30 countries around the world. POLICYs efforts have led to the adoption of 33 policies, plans, and strategies at national and regional levels; strengthened networks of people living with HIV in 11 countries and for the Asia and Pacific region; and more than 150 faith- and community-based groups mobilized through small grants to build local capacity to carry out HIV activities. This report higlights the achievements of the project in five key technical areas: policy formulation, leadership and advocacy, resources and data for decisionmaking, reducing vulnerablity, and multisectoral engagement.
