(2014), which states that enhancing stability Australia will support partner governments to deliver better health for all, including to the poor, with a focus on cost-effective interventions to prevent diseases such as HIV and TB, and quality maternal and child health. CHAI Phase III is relevant to need and closely aligned with GoV’s agenda. Over 250,000 people are living with HIV and approximately 40% of eligible patients are not accessing treatment. CHAI’s activities strongly align with the GoV’s 2012 National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The Strategy’s vision to 2030 is to strive for universal access and the United Nations' goals of zero new infections, zero AIDS-related deaths, and zero discrimination. CHAI’s activities support achievement of the following targets under the National Strategy: ARVs: Increase the percentage of eligible people living with HIV receiving treatment to 70% by 2015. Increase the percentage of people living with HIV who continue ARV treatment after 12 months to at least 80% by 2015 and maintain this until 2020. PMTCT: Reduce mother-to-child HIV transmission rate to less than 5% by 2015 and 2% by 2020. Increase the percentage of pregnant women with HIV and their infants who receive early ARV treatment to 90% by 2015 and 95% by 2020. In 2011 the Viet Nam National Assembly approved HIV as a standalone National Target Program. GoV funding for HIV interventions overall remains low, with minimal investment on women and children’s needs. GoV planned to allocate USD$168 million over four years, but this was revised drastically downwards due to the financial crisis with only $4.2 million allocated in 2014. TA to support GoV to sustain the HIV treatment and care response has become more urgent as international funding is withdrawn. Vietnam’s achievement of middle-income status has resulted in decreasing international for HIV. World Bank, the UK and the Dutch Government have exited HIV support, while USG’s PEPFAR has reduced support from USD$97.8 million in 2010 reducing to under USD$55 million in 2013-2014 and is anticipated to be around USD$50 million per annum for 2014-2015, with a phased
