Subsequently, in 1994, the program was brought under the multi-donor financed Social Action Program with a more pragmatic agenda including information education, blood screening and establishing provincial implementation units. The program is now implemented through federal and provincial implementation units. The government’s commitment is reflected by the fact that about 80% of all expenditures on HIV & AIDS has been financed by the Government of Pakistan (GoP). In 1999 - 2000, GoP with the assistance of UNAIDS and other development partners undertook a strategic planning exercise with input from all stakeholders. The framework envisages multi-sectoral response and development of partnerships and collective action, essential for decreasing the vulnerability of Pakistan’s population. The GoP is committed to expand its response to HIV & AIDS by translating the Strategic framework through this donor-financed enhanced program. The Enhanced HIV & AIDS Control Program is being implemented at Federal Level under Enhanced HIV & AIDS Control Programme (Federal Component).
