This document is a user guide to support the completion of the Sustainability Assessment, which informs the country-led Sustainability Roadmaps.

The technical working group should consider the roles each stakeholder might play the assessment phase and ensure that participation reflects the principle of meaningful and measurable involvement of civil society, especially people living with HIV and people belonging to key and vulnerable populations. For consulting with stakeholders, UNAIDS strongly encourages countries to meaningfully engage people living with HIV; gay men and other who have sex with men; sex workers; transgender people; people who use drugs; adolescent girls and young women; young key populations; and faith and traditional community stakeholders. When the technical working group has completed all three steps of the assessment phase, including completing the sustainability assessment tool (in MS Excel), and validated the responses through multistakeholder country consultations, a short narrative report and analysis of the findings should be drafted. See section 2.4 and Annex 2 in the Companion Guide Part A when drafting the above-mentioned report.
