The need of coordination between United Nations Agencies on HIV/AIDS matters was already known before the presentation of the evaluation final report. During 2009 El Salvador passed through the UNDAF Mid Term Review process. In that occasion the weakness of HIV/AIDS Joint Team naturally came up during the joint review meetings. Thanks to the commitment of the UN Agencies and HIV/AIDS focal points to enhance the coordination system on the matter, the Thematic Joint Group started to meet on regular basis since the second half of the year 2009. UNAIDS gets more involved in the joint meeting ensuring a technical follow up on the joint annual work plans. The consolidation of this common effort is the Unified Budget Work Plan for the year 2010 prepared with the supervision of UNDP who is acting as team leader since January 2010.

This recommendation was acknowledge during the formulation of the RCC strategy. The strategy includes a capacity development plan focused for women in rural areas on. This component will be carried out by a group of selected NGOs. Unfortunately, it was not possible include all the vulnerable groups recommended, because people located geographically in Cutuco port and the north longitudinal road are under direct responsibility of FOMILENIO (is a new institution, created for a period of five years, with the purpose of managing and supervising the implementation of a development programme settled with Millennium Challenge Corporation funds).
