CQUIN convened a three-day meeting for Ministries of Health, recipients of care, and other stakeholders from April 20-22, 2026, to exchange practical lessons, tools, and strategies to support countries in shaping their sustainability and transition planning. In response to country priorities, the four focal areas of the meeting included:
- Integration of HIV programs into routine health systems
- Adapting M&E programs and mitigating M&E system vulnerabilities
- Ensuring HIV service coverage and quality for key and vulnerable populations
- Prevention and treatment of advanced HIV disease

Background
2025 was a year of extraordinary change for the global HIV response.
Cuts in official development assistance for health, the closure of USAID, and the issuance of stop-work orders disrupted HIV programs and services throughout the network. Nearly half of CQUIN member countries experienced cuts of more than 50% in health aid from the United States government, and Global Fund awards to network members were reduced by an average of 11% (range 7-16%). As a result, many HIV services were disrupted, as was program monitoring and evaluation (M&E).
In response, the CQUIN network pivoted from its emphasis on differentiated service delivery to support country teams in prioritizing, planning, and adapting HIV programs to the current context. Strategic planning, cross-country exchange and learning, co-creation of practical tools, and targeted technical assistance are positioning member countries to optimize their HIV programs in the context of lower budgets, new donor agreements, and new partners.
