How to endorse the Framework
![]() |
Thank you for your interest in endorsing the Framework for the Protection, Care and Support of Orphans and Vulnerable Children Living in a World with HIV/AIDS. The framework was adopted in 2003 by several UN organisations, bilateral donors and NGOs as a framework for protecting and promoting the rights of children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV and AIDS.
In addition to representing your support with the inclusion of your organisation's logo, UNICEF looks forward to working with you further on the actual support and implementation of the principles and strategies outlined in the Framework through the Inter-Agency Task Team, technical working groups, the Global Partners Forum on children affected by HIV/AIDS; and other global processes. But most importantly, at country level, in terms of supporting national action planning processes and ensuring that national financial and political commitments are making a real difference for children.
