1ORGANISATIONAL STARTEGIES FOR INTERNATIONAL HIV/AIDs ALLIANCE
The international HIV/AIDs Alliances is a chain of organization which has spread across
the world dedicated to combating the spread of the HIV and AIDs. The initiative is taken by the
organization for the year 2020 because of the failure of the strategies which was formulated in
2012. In the current research it is found that more than thirty-four million people are living with
HIV globally in the Sub-Saharan Africa. Therefore, the planning process consist of exercising
the economic and political strength on the national ground, regional level and i8nternational
stage. The impact of human rights is emphasized. The challenges faced by the organization was
when the people could not reach to the organization for help. HIV treatment, prevention and care
services could not be organized for the diseased victims (Mwai et al. 2013).
The alliance has established different models to work with the private sector. Some
emerging business models are: Service Delivery Commission Model where the government had
funded the clinics for the treatment. The Government Development Partnership Model provides
training and education and facilitate workforce development. The Watchdog Model holds
government records and address the access of improving the health care system. Lastly, the
Human Rights Defenders Model protect the human rights and it aims its focus on advocating
changes and promoting environment (Auld et al. 2015).
There has been a significant development in biotechnology from 2019 in developing
potential TB vaccine, regular medical checkup and better ART. The facility of treatment at home
for HIV testing is made available at home and people have the fee access to ask question and
communicate on HIV transmission, social role, injecting and social risk. The development is
twrds the digital median where new information and communication technology such as
telemedicine can be accessed through mobile phones with the help of internet.
