Reporting on Progress

This section of Canada's Report on HIV/AIDS 2005 describes activities and progress in three broad areas that reflect shifts in the federal response under the Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada:

• Strengthening The Federal Response outlines efforts to increase government collaboration at all levels; to increase coherence across the federal government and engage a broader range of federal departments and agencies in the response; and to increase the Government of Canada's engagement in the global response to the epidemic.
• Focussing on Populations provides epidemiological information and examines work that is under way to develop and implement discrete approaches, including social marketing initiatives, to addressing the epidemic for specific target populations. It also describes efforts to increase the integration of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment and rehabilitation interventions with those of other diseases, as appropriate.
• Strengthening the Foundation reports on federal investments in HIV/AIDS science, vaccine and microbicide development, information development and dissemination, and capacity building.

This report focusses primarily on activities funded and undertaken in year one of the Federal Initiative. Information is also included on selected activities that are not funded under the Federal Initiative but that constitute an important part of the Canadian response (for example, the work of CIDA and Foreign Affairs Canada abroad). Future reports will provide more-detailed information on actual results and outcomes achieved under the Federal Initiative.

Similarly, information on other national stakeholders involved in the Canadian response can be found on their respective Web sites, which are listed in the Key National Partners section of this document (see page 48).
