How we do it
AAI believes that strong and accountable leadership is necessary to ensure effective responses to HIV and related health challenges. We do this by increasing transparency, promoting dialogue and supporting action to improve the response. Needs-driven, evidence-based research and advocacy that measures performance against the commitments that have been made by governments.
How committed?
Ascession (no tacit disagreement (rare)) National Policy Simple Signature (most common)
Ratification
Law

Types of commitments
Simple signature The simple signature has historically been used to ensure that government staff did not overstep their powers of authority and often offers good media and political exposure with none of the real implications of having to implement the law once back home. _ Parliament -Show of good faith to refrain from defeating the objective of the commitment but does not oblige them to actively pursue the objective of the commitment. Ratification This is the process whereby the national government gets the approval of the national parliamentarians for a commitment it has signed, effectually making it national law, and thus a more effective and implemented commitment. The state is not bound by the content until such time as it is ratified at home.
Definitive signature This form of signing a commitment is becoming increasingly popular but still very few commitments offer this possibility. A definitive signature has the power of both a simple signature and ratification all at the same time, and thus does not require the commitment to be tabled at the national parliament. Few commitments offer this type of signing yet, however there is a move towards this globally. Accession Very few commitments allow for acceding. Acceding is based on the understanding that if a state does not express tacit disagreement within a certain period of time after a commitment comes into effect, it is automatically understood to have simply signed the commitment. Signing with reservation This is when a country simple signs a commitment but specifies which precise sections it will not include in its own commitment. Controversial issues such as territory boundaries, financial and time commitments, as well as moral and religious issues are usually the subject of most reservations.
