The specific development objectives of each country project are to be drawn from the national strategic plans. Accordingly, "satisfactory evidence of a strategic approach to HIV/AIDS" is one of four eligibility criteria. This is to be demonstrated by "a coherent, national, multi-sector strategy and action plan for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment that has been developed through a participatory approach using social assessment techniques. It could also be demonstrated by having a participatory strategic planning process underway, with a clear roadmap and timetable" Accordingly, the objective of this review is to assess the extent to which national HIV/AIDS plans represent a strategic approach to addressing the epidemic. Evidence of a strategic approach includes: clear goals; explicit priorities; systematic planning, targets, timeframes, and indicators; clear plans for monitoring and evaluation; clearly specified implementing actors and responsibilities; and cost estimates and strategies for resource mobilization. Additional characteristics of a strategic approach are the extent to which plans are efficient, equitable, relevant, and feasible. National HIV/AIDS strategic plans from 21 of the 23 Sub-Saharan African countries participating in the MAP as of July 2003 are reviewed. Table 1 lists the countries, their populations and GNP per capita, estimated HIV prevalence (given in the plans), and timeframes of the plans.
