At country and regional level, the Practice leads the generation of strategic information to inform different programming and planning processes, and also coordinates the joint programme planning and monitoring through the Unified Budget, Results and Accountability Framework (UBRAF).
The UNAIDS Asia Pacific Regional Office provides leadership and coordinates support for an expanded UN system response to ending the AIDS epidemic at regional and country level. It steers, promotes and supports regional and national partners and the UN system towards ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030. Using an equity and equality lens as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the UNAIDS Asia Pacific Regional Office promotes effective use of strategic information of the epidemic trends and the status of its response and provides technical leadership on people-centered HIV prevention and response in the region focused on key populations and locations most at risk.
The HIV and AIDS Data Hub for Asia and the Pacific within the regional office (hereafter, the Data Hub) was launched in 2008 and has become a key resource and important support for countries and regional partners in the Asia Pacific region.
