  • Provisional agenda item 2: coordination and harmonization (the 'Three Ones') (en | fr
    The PCB is asked to endorse the principles for concerted country action against AIDS contained in the “three ones” agreement reached at the donor meeting in April 2004 in Washington DC. It is also asked to endorse specific action by UNAIDS to realize application of the ‘three ones’ at country level, including continuing action in the next biennium’s Unified Budget and Workplan.
  • Provisional agenda item 6: Cosponsorship (en | fr
    The increasing interest of UN-system organizations to become UNAIDS Cosponsors has prompted the Committee of Cosponsoring Organizations (CCO) to consider in more detail the implications of a larger, more diverse UNAIDS partnership. The founding ECOSOC resolution (1994/24 of 26 July 1994) does not address this issue, nor has the issue been raised at past PCB meetings, although both ECOSOC and the PCB have been kept informed as new Cosponsors have been admitted. UNAIDS is thus seeking the advice of the PCB on expanding Cosponsorship, based upon decisions and recommendations made by the CCO in March 2004.

    The Future Directions of UNAIDS, endorsed by the PCB in December 2002, provided the template against which the Programme could refocus its efforts in relation to the new challenges on AIDS of the first decade of the twenty-first century. In the eighteen months since, a significant retooling of our efforts has taken place. This renewed agenda for action places UNAIDS at the forefront of meeting the global AIDS challenge in 2004-2005.
