CROSSCUTTING OUTCOME

Reflecting the government’s strategic approach and the UN’s expertise, the UN’s policy advice and advocacy will be complemented, wherever possible and appropriate, by capacity development and technical support activities at the decentralized level. In response to the diversity of the development challenges and the underlying inequalities and understanding the significance of HIV and AIDS as a key development challenge in Mozambique, all programme interventions are guided by the following three principles:

• Systematic implementation of a culturally sensitive and gender responsive, human rights based approach ensuring a focus on the most vulnerable groups, particularly women and children
• Response to HIV and AIDS issues throughout all UNDAF result areas
• Promotion of evidence-based policies and strategies for equitable and sustainable development across all sectors
