Self-Assessment Checklist: Mainstreaming HIV

The Code identifies seven key principles on mainstreaming HIV:
• 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 maximize the access of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and affected communities to an integrated range of programmes to meet their needs.
• We design or adapt development programmes to reduce vulnerability to HIV infection and meet the needs of PLHIV and affected communities.
• We ensure that our humanitarian programmes reduce vulnerability to HIV infection and address the needs of PLHIV and affected communities.
• Our programmes for orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV are child-centred, family- and community-focused and rights-based.
• 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 implementing these principles. The questions are designed to be thinking points/guidelines to help you identify areas that are already at a ‘good practice’ level, and areas that need to be developed and strengthened.
