Self-Assessment Checklist: HIV in Emergencies

The Code identifies five key principles on HIV in emergencies:
• We review our development and humanitarian programmes to assess their relevance to reducing vulnerability to HIV infection and addressing the consequences of HIV.
• We work in partnerships to maximise the access of PLHIV and affected communities to an integrated range of programmes to meet their needs.
• We ensure that our humanitarian programmes reduce vulnerability to HIV infection and address the needs of PLHIV and affected communities.
• We advocate for an environment that supports effective mainstreaming of HIV.
• We advocate for an enabling environment that addresses the underlying causes of vulnerability to HIV.

This self-assessment checklist will help you assess the degree to which your organisation is successfully building the capacity of the communities that you work with. The questions are designed to be thinking points or guidelines to help you identify areas that are already at a ‘good practice’ level, and areas that need to be developed and strengthened.
