A Consolidated UN Technical Support Plan for AIDS has been developed to accelerate and improve implementation of global funding initiatives and thus “make the money work”. It addresses many of the weaknesses of the prevailing technical support system. Based on the comparative advantages of the UNAIDS Cosponsors and Secretariat, the Plan anticipates the technical support required by 45 high-priority countries1 during 2006-2007 and provides a ‘menu’ of UN-provided or UN-facilitated interventions available to countries to scale up their national response to AIDS.
