Partnerships provide UNAIDS

Partners in many sectors, countries and regions will be crucial resources in the implementation
of this strategy. Partnerships provide UNAIDS and its Cosponsors with strategic advice, technical,
political and funding support, and pathways for outreach and communications. UNAIDS and each
Cosponsor will be encouraged to forge stronger partnerships, focused on strategy, evidence, best
practice, politics, funding and communications, with the following sectors:
Governments, including agencies in charge of health services, health research,
education, law and law enforcement;
Other global and regional intergovernmental bodies, such as the European Union,
the African Union, the Organization of American States, the Association of Southeast
Asian Nations, the Commonwealth, la Francophonie, the Organisation of the Islamic
Conference, the G8 and the G20;
Civil society organizations and networks in every region of the world, including
those led by and/or representing men who have sex with men and transgender
people and other groups focused on women, youth, AIDS, lesbian/gay/bisexual/
transgender rights, and human rights in general; and
Funding agencies, including intergovernmental, public-private, governmental and
private bodies.
