An effective, well-coordinated response to HIV in Djibouti

A Grant from the World Bank provided a strong impetus to Djibouti’s national HIV response in 2003. Clear objectives and priorities, effective government action and commitment, and close cooperation among the key donors and government organizations have contributed to strong results in the national response to HIV. The Global Fund cites Djibouti as a “best practice” example of donor coordination and harmonization and UNICEF recognizes the outreach to young people and community interventions as best practices.
