1. Introduction and Background The Somaliland National AIDS Commission (SOLNAC) is a multi-sectored Government body established through Presidential Decree No, 88 of 28 June 2005. The Commission is providing overall leadership and strategic vision of HIV Response in the country. The main mandates of SOLNAC includes: Coordinate stakeholders in multi- sectored response to HIV and AIDS in the Country, Advocate, validate, facilitate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of national HIV & AIDS strategic plans and action plans. SOLNAC Advocacy program framework seeks to improve mainstreaming of the HIV response into the capacity building and institutional development initiatives, and promoting human rights and gender equality, as outlined in the National Strategic Plan.
