The purpose is to help participants develop the contingency planning they need in order to be able to continue to provide HIV-related services in humanitarian situations (e.g. a ood, an earthquake, violence, etc.).

This guidance document and its accompanying tool, the Adolescent Assessment and Decision-Makers Tool (AADM), were devised to facilitate country assessments aimed at strengthening the adolescent component of national HIV programmes. The purpose of the country assessments is to: (1) support country teams in the identification of equity and performance gaps affecting adolescent HIV programming; and (2) define priority actions to improve the effectiveness of the national adolescent HIV response.
