The vision that led to the creation of UNAIDS was that the UN would be more effective in facing the exceptional challenges posed by AIDS if its institutions worked together in a more coordinated and coherent way. The Unified Budget and Workplan has been instrumental in moving UNAIDS towards this vision. It provides an overall framework for the entire range of action on AIDS by the UNAIDS Cosponsors and the Secretariat, but is fexible enough to respond to the ever evolving AIDS epidemic. The Unified Budget and Workplan sets out the specific commitments of each part of the Joint Programme, including the results each Cosponsor and the Secretariat will seek to achieve, matched with resource requirements.
