International HIV/AIDS Alliance: Our impact on HIV

2016 was a year of accelerating change in the global HIV response, with declining political and financial commitment to HIV, shrinking space for civil society, and an international political environment characterised by a high degree of volatility and uncertainty. The Alliance remains well positioned and able to adapt to change in an increasingly complex and uncertain external environment, and we continued having a significant impact on reducing the effects of HIV epidemics worldwide.

In 2016, Alliance Linking Organisations and partners:

- provided nearly 1.5 million HIV treatment, care and support packages to adults, adolescents and children - a 25% increase from 2015

- reached over 950,000 people with integrated HIV and sexual and reproductive health and rights services

- reached nearly 840,000 people from key populations with a defined package of HIV prevention services – including 180,000 in Africa

- reached nearly 380,000 people with programmes addressing stigma, discrimination and social exclusion in countries with high levels of stigma - up from 160,000 in 2015

- contributed 10% or more of the national coverage for HIV prevention, care or treatment in 16 countries – up from 11 in 2015

- played a role holding governments to account in upholding human rights, enabling universal access to services or increasing domestic financing of the national HIV response in 28 countries

- provided grants to 1,785 community-based organisations, of which 82% achieved their programmatic and financial targets.
