Policy Analysis Tool: Addressing gender-based violence and integrating attention to engaging men and boys for gender equality in national strategic plans on HIV and AIDS

This policy analysis tool assists in the evaluation of the area of addressing gender-based violence and integrating attention to engaging men and boys for gender equality in National Strategic Plans (NSPs) on HIV and AIDS. This tool is comprised of seven components, namely: eliminating gender-based violence and discrimination; engaging men and boys for gender equality; maintaining an enabling environment in terms of advancing human rights and access to justice; the meaningful involvement of and leadership by women living with and affected by HIV; preventing HIV transmission among women and girls; accountability, specifically budgeting, monitoring, research and gender expertise, and finally, the component of key stakeholders. This has been adapted from the “Framework for Women, Girls, and Gender Equality in NSPs on HIV and AIDS in Southern and Eastern Africa”. The original Framework is a collaboration of 19 organisations.
