UNDP with support by Unified Budget, Results and Accountability Framework (UBRAF) fund will have joint Programme will support countries to address the gender dimensions of HIV epidemics. We provide guidance and assistance to governments and civil society, including networks of people living with and affected by HIV to address multi-dimensional gender and human rights issues in their national HIV and gender plans; and facilitate increased capacity to achieve gender equality results. Key elements of this output include to advocate for Right to Health of all key populations and vulnerable groups.
Indonesia have been implementing HIV and AIDS prevention and care program more than 20 years by Government and NGOs though many challenges because of stigma and discrimination which become one of obstacles to prevent transmission of HIV and provide health care to key population and people living with HIV, including women and children. In 2019, People Living on HIV (PLHIV) on treatment up to 128,522 people, it is 20% of an estimated number of 640.443 people, therefore Indonesia need to have more efforts to improve program implementation with supportive policy environment to achieve HIV and AIDS 90:90:90 strategy. HIV and AIDS program implementation should consider human rights principle as one of approach for better way to deal with the problem of HIV and AIDS. In practice, human rights protection for PLHIV is essential to safeguarding our human values. Moreover, the protection of human rights for PLHIV is also important to support effective HIV and AIDS prevention and care programs. The public health interests actually do not conflict with the protection of human rights for PLHIV. It has been proven that if human rights are protected, PLHIV and their families can live quietly, healthier, have a self-esteem, be able to deal with HIV and AIDS better, and behave healthily mean minimize the risk of transmission. To foster an effective response to the HIV and AIDS epidemic and respect for the human rights of PLHIV, it is required government’s responsibilities, law reforms implementation, increasing efforts from stakeholders, and creating a supportive environment for PLHAs in communities, including private sector.
Although HIV and AIDS policy and programs are already implemented and efforts to improve human right principles and to reduce stigma and discrimination by government and NGOs, however controversial issues bring key population and PLHIV into low bargaining position for availability, affordability, and quality of health services. In addition, Indonesia has feedback mechanism for communities namely LAPOR system developed by Ministry of Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (KemenPAN) which recorded complaints, inputs, reports from communities to government, including stigma and discrimination which are closely related to human rights and gender issues, however reported through LAPOR system regarding those issues is still low. In other side, other feedback mechanism related to Human Rights and Gender issues on HIV key population developed by NGOs namely Community Based Monitoring Feedback (CBMF), follow up actions from this mechanism also still less.
From support funding by UBRAF, in 2020 UNDP implement assessment of Human Right and Gender and it involved CSOs from Key Affected Population around Indonesia. In 2021, we will continue through advocacy on human rights and gender issues and consultative meetings will be held involving community, stakeholders, NGO, governments, etc. Moreover, UNDP will provide technical assistance to The Global Fund Principal Recipients to develop follow up actions in addressing the issues and implement high level meetings and national dialogues on human rights and gender issues with national stakeholders.
