MANDATE OF THE DEPARTMENT:
The Fast-Track Implementation Department (FTI) leads and coordinates support to countries, including fragile countries, sub-national locations and cities to address gaps and programme implementation challenges to reach the 2020 Global AIDS targets.

The Department manages the extra-budgetary grant to leverage high-quality and timely technical support to countries to improve the Global Fund (GF) grant implementation and accelerate progress towards the 2016 Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS. The purpose of the grant, partially implemented through the UNAIDS Technical Support Mechanism, is to accelerate country-level response in three main areas of work: Area 1: Alignment of the national and sub-national AIDS plans with the 2016 Political Declaration; Area 2: Accelerate the Global Fund Grants implementation; and Area 3: Sustainability of the AIDS response and support to effective transition.
