It outlines a vision, goals, and actions for the global health sector response, including five strategic directions.

The objective of the HIV Department is to lead an effective, organization-wide HIV effort to support Member State in the implementation of the Strategies. The Department of HIV provides technical and strategic leadership in key technical areas and leverages the capacity of other HQ Departments to contribute to the broader HIV and GHP programme.

South Africa has adopted a differentiated approach to care that aims to strengthen linkage, adherence and retention using a patient-centered approach throughout the treatment cascade, known as the Differentiated Service Delivery (Differentiated Models of Care).

The appointed service provider will support NDOH in HIV, STI and Key populations work in South Africa, and will use available WHO guidelines and guidance, and will liaise with other external stakeholders.
