The National Strategic Plan 2007-2011 seeks to harmonise and align the resources and responses of all its partners to ensure that they meet Guyana’s National Priorities. It is intended to strategically guide the future direction of Guyana’s National HIV/AIDS Response since it outlines the basic approaches, principles, strategic priorities, objectives and strategic activities. The formulation of the plan will also be aligned with one National Monitoring and Evaluation Plan.

The new Plan also seeks to build on the good work that was carried out during the development of the 2002-2006 National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan that was designed using a participative process, involving the National AIDS Programme and the major partners within the public, private and donor communities.

This 2007-2011 Plan aims to provide the following benefits:

• A structured framework that will allow Government to continue to its leadership and to build the capacity to manage and implement the programmes, interventions and activities of the National response across the various sectors.

• A structured framework that can be used to make optimal use of the financial and technical resources.

• An opportunity to strengthen the leadership and management initiatives that began with the Presidential Commission on AIDS.

• A structured framework that encourages harmonisation and alignment among partners in the achievement of the National priorities of Guyana’s HIV/AIDS response.

• An opportunity to coordinate and streamline the HIV/AIDS work plans of the various agencies based on common arrangements, procedures and systems.

• A chance to build capacity for a monitoring and evaluating system so that the GOG can measure the impact of its multi-sectoral national HIV/AIDS response.

• An effective vehicle for encourage the involvement and empowerment of all the stakeholders and partners reaching all vulnerable populations.
