National Strategic Framework: 2007-2011
Situation Report (UNAIDS 2006):
In Algeria, the national response to the HIV epidemic started very early after the first case in 1985 with the elaboration of an emergency plan including blood safety, treatment of AIDS-related opportunistic diseases and training of medical personnel on HIV and AIDS. The major barriers to prevention, treatment, care and support are the lack of a coordinated surveillance system, monitoring and evaluation system, and the lack of voluntary counselling and testing services. All the elements to overcome these gaps exist but the only way to overcome these barriers is a reorganization of the National AIDS Council with a clear mandate, with authority and with the resources to function.
Although the HIV surveillance system in Algeria is very weak and data collection irregular, the data available show that women, young people and especially marginalized groups are still extremely vulnerable to HIV and unfortunately despite this, prevention activities are not focusing on these groups of the population.
Challenges include reviewing the 2002–2006 National Strategic Plan and elaborating the 2007–2011 one with relevant costing, strengthening the HIV/AIDS 2nd generation surveillance system, standardizing the prevention, care and treatment strategy, implementing a monitoring and evaluation system and Country Response Information System, and implementing voluntary counselling and testing with a clear promotion strategy.
