ABOUT FAST-TRACK CITIES

The Fast-Track Cities initiative is a global partnership between cities and municipalities around the world and four core partners – the International Association of Providers of AIDS Care (IAPAC), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), and the City of Paris.

Mayors and other city/municipal officials designate their cities as Fast-Track Cities by signing the Paris Declaration on Fast-Track Cities, which outlines a set of commitments to achieve the initiative's objectives. Initially heavily focused on the 90-90-90 targets, the Paris Declaration was recently updated to establish attainment of the three 90 targets as the starting point on a trajectory towards getting to zero new HIV infections and zero AIDS-related deaths.

Grounded in the principle of data transparency, the initiative includes a Fast-Track Cities Global Web Portal that allows cities to report on their progress against the fast-track and other targets.

As the initiative’s primary technical partner, IAPAC supports Fast-Track Cities with: technical assistance to local health departments on data generation, monitoring, and reporting. implementation planning among key local stakeholders, capacity-building support for clinical and service providers, community-based organizations, and affected communities. eliminating HIV-related stigma in healthcare settings and assessing quality of life among communities of people living with HIV.
