Joint Programme Results
In Papua New Guinea, the Joint Team’s activities strengthened evidence for the national HIV response—the Global AIDS Monitoring report, HIV estimates, National AIDS Spending Assessment were finalized in 2022 (UNAIDS Secretariat). A new three-test HIV testing algorithm was implemented; the National Condom Strategy and pre-exposure prophylaxis roadmap were developed; and the national treatment guideline was updated to reinforce HIV prevention, testing and treatment services in the country.
The Key Population Advocacy Consortium (KPAC) implemented community-based HIV testing and prevention services in three provinces and community-led monitoring in the National Capital District expanding access to services and accelerating progress on the implementation of the Global Fund grants (UNAIDS Secretariat). This included 761 exit interviews with clients, predominantly people from key populations in 15 HIV clinics in National Capital District on their experience, quality, and friendliness of services; healthcare providers in 23 clinics improved their understanding of key populations, stigma, discrimination, and human rights received information materials on the same topics; more than 100 people living with HIV, sex workers, and transgender people were engaged in discussion around access and quality of services where they identified and recorded services barriers; and after the discussion some of the participants were referred to appropriate services. Results from these activities, including service delivery improvements were documented and shared with high-level government counterparts.
