National Strategic Framework: 2006-2010
Goals include strengthening decentralization so as to attain national coverage, strengthening gender and culture-sensitive responses and increasing the life spans of PLWHA by at least 30 percent by 2010.
Overview:
Critical issues and major challenges
The security situation continues to deteriorate in the eastern and southern parts of the country, and has weakened the country’s capacity to respond effectively to the epidemic. But it has provided an opportunity for the UN Country Team to mainstream HIV into the humanitarian response. The current national response does not anticipate a reversal in the nongovernmental organisational trend.
There is increasing political commitment at the highest level. The National Strategic Framework (2006–2010) and the multisectoral plan (2006–2008) have been developed and validated. Ten line ministries have an HIV task force and an action plan. The roadmap for universal access has been developed through a national consultation with full civil society participation. However, while the promotion and the social marketing programmes of condom are operational, the extension of this activity is limited because of cultural and religious resistance.
A network of nongovernmental organisations and associations of people living with HIV has been created and most of their programmes focus on fighting stigma and discrimination, promotion of HIV prevention and access to treatment and care. Target populations include women, young people, mobile populations, sex workers and uniformed services personnel. The involvement of the private sector in the national response is very limited. The resource mobilization process is very limited since Chad does not attract many donors.
