| Overview : African countries are signatories to key international and regional human rights instruments which guarantee human rights to all individuals. This includes the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and the African Charter of Human and People’s Rights. The ‘African Women’s Protocol’ specifically recognises the sexual and reproductive health rights of women in the context of HIV and AIDS. In addition to the need to align national legal frameworks with these existing human rights commitments, there is also a growing recognition of the central role of law and human rights in effective HIV responses and, based on principles of accountability and responsibility, of the need to enjoin countries to take steps to strengthen legal frameworks to protect people living with HIV and key populations at higher risk of HIV exposure and to promote universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.: in the African continent, UNDP RSC-AFRICA is committed to follow up on the recommendations from the Report of the Global Commission on HIV and the Law and has been supporting national governments and regional entities in this process. In 2013, with support from the governments of both Sweden and Norway, UNDP RSC-AFRICA launched a project titled “Strengthening Regional and National Legislative Environments to Support the Enjoyment of Human Rights of LGBT People and Women and Girls affected by HIV and AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa”. The duration of this project is from 2013 to 2015. The overarching development objective of this project is “to reduce the HIV-related vulnerability of LGBT people and women and girls affected by HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa by helping ensure that their legal rights are realised and stigma and discrimination are addressed. The programme objective is “to strengthen national and regional legal environments to support the enjoyment of human rights of LGBT people and women and girls affected by HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa”.
