>>>Mode of operation

UAC embraces the principle of participatory coordination to ensure shared perspectives on the various issues of the national programme while promoting ownership among the various stakeholders.

The coordination mechanism has evolved over the years through partner consultation to ensure harmony while focusing on a common problem. UAC and her partners established the Uganda HIV/AIDS Partnership in 2002. The Partnership is a broad based coordination mechanism that brings together different constituencies of stakeholders referred to as Self Coordinating Entities (SCEs). Currently, the Partnership comprises of 12 SCEs.

The partnership arrangement encourages participatory coordination, and facilitates the coordination tasks of UAC through Technical Working Groups (TWGs) and access to financial support.
All issues concerning the coordination and management of the response initiated by UAC or other stakeholders are discussed through technical working groups (TWGs) or established subcommittees of the Partnership Committee.

Draft recommendations are discussed in the Partnership Committee, then the Commission before stakeholder consensus where necessary
