The present Strategy establishes mechanisms to progressively but sustainably reduce the incidence (that is, the number of new infections) of HIV. The purpose of the Strategy is to identify the most critical interventions that can contribute to a significant reduction in the incidence of HIV in the country.

This Master Plan was designed for a 13-year time horizon (2017-2030) to align it with the main instruments that guide the actions that contribute to Disaster Risk Reduction at a global and local scale, namely the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
