The Nepal HIV Investment Plan is not the product of an academic or scientific exercise; it has come together after many months of hard work by a team of dedicated government, community, and external development partners. Founded on the principles of UNAIDS’ Investment Framework and that of a National Strategic Plan of the Third Generation (NSP3G), our NHIP will drive the next three years of the Nepal National HIV Strategy 2011-2016. It prioritises key actions that must be taken for Nepal to successfully achieve the ‘Getting to Zero’ vision. It spells out the scope, scale, and intensity of innovative initiatives to be implemented with a speed and quality that are urgent, necessary and non-negotiable. It also sets out the need to operate within an accountability framework that highlights shared responsibility and national solidarity.
