Summary
Iran has a well-established health system and a national programme for prevention and
control of HIV/AIDS. The HIV/AIDS Portfolio is comprised of several grants from the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDs, Tubercolusis and Malaria. The first of the grants was from the Round 2 proposal (2002) in which the Global Fund commited resources to suport Iran in fighting
HIV epidemic. The grant received from GF became effective in 2005 with UNDP-Iran
designated as the Principle Recipient (PR), Center for Disease Control (CDC) of Ministry of
Health (MOH) with 49% of the 1st phase grant, Prisons Organization (PO) with 28% of it,
and Ministry of Education (MOE) with 12% of it as the three Sub-Recipients (SRs).
The evaluation shows that the GF project is playing a positive role in HIV/AIDS prevention
and control of the country and has stimulated several new stakeholders to take responsibility
in the the HIV control programme. Resolving inconsistencies between the rules and
regulations of GF,UNDP and National organizations along with improving the coordination
between implementing agencies can increase project success in its future phases and rounds.
The findings of this report provide evidence that the GF grant has, in its emphasis on results
and accountability and its proven ability of current structures to disburse, scaled up the
HIV/AIDS prevention and control measures of the country. In addition, there had been major
investments in the current GF grant implementing system including achievements in
strengthening PR and SRs understanding of Global Fund requirements.
