The priority is to promote the quality of life of people living with HIV and to reduce stigma. Reducing stigma and promoting quality of life are key themes in the monitoring and evaluation framework. A baseline indicator, taken from the Positive Voices Survey for a quality of life measure was presented in the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework as 7.4 out of 10 for people living with HIV, compared to 7.7 out of 10 in the general population.</p><p> </p><p>The framework will continue to monitor and evaluate the quality of life measure from this baseline. The framework states that further work will be undertaken with the HIV Action Plan Implementation Steering Group and with professional groups, the HIV community and academic partners to develop indicators to monitor quality of life for those living with HIV. It is anticipated that these indicators will be aligned with UNAIDS’ 2025 AIDS Targets, which include an assessment of punitive laws and policies and targets of less than 10% of people living with HIV experiencing stigma and discrimination and less than 10% experiencing gender inequality and violence.</p><p> </p><p>The monitoring and evaluation framework was published in December 2022 and included a place holder indicator of quality of life using the positive voices survey. The framework sets out a commitment to further develop this indicator to monitor the quality of life with key stakeholders including the HIV community. The HIV community advisory group feeds directly into the HIV Action plan Steering group and will enable future indicators to be co-produced.</p> answering member constituency Harborough answering member printed Neil O'Brien question first answered 16/01/2023 10:43:22 answering member 4679 label Biography information for Neil O'Brien

This enables informed decisions on future changes to the programme, including on possible scale-up. All programme annual reviews are published on Dev Tracker (devtracker.gov.uk).</p><p>The FCDO are developing an advisory panel which will include local and UK based organisations who will represent community led organisations. The advisory panel will support the FCDO in developing our approach to working with small organisations. We will test our thinking and approaches with this group before implementing changes to approach. So far over 100 organisations have expressed an interest in becoming part of this advisory panel.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 09/12/2022 10:32:56 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
