  The Asia Pacific Leadership Forum on HIV/AIDS and Development (APLF) was established in 2002 stemming from the first Asia Pacific Ministerial Meeting hosted by the Australian government in Melbourne, Australia in October 2001. APLF responds to the commitment for strong leadership on HIV/AIDS agreed at the first United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on HIV and AIDS in New York in July 2001.

Goal
APLF supports and strengthens political and civil society leadership at country, sub-regional and regional levels to take action to reduce the spread and impact of the AIDS epidemic in the Asia Pacific region.

Oversight and Management
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Regional Support Team for Asia and Pacific (RST/AP) is tasked to manage APLF. A Steering Committee of Asia-Pacific leaders provides strategic guidance to the APLF team, comprising the APLF manager, three sub-regional coordinators, (South Asia, Southeast Asia and Pacific), and a programme assistant.

Where we work?
The coverage of APLF is divided into three sub-regions covering the geographical areas of South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.

APLF supported countries are:

In addition to the above countries, APLF provides technical support to advance leadership action in Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand, which receive financial support from the OPEC Fund for International Development (OPEC Fund)

Funding
APLF has received funding support from the European Union and the governments of Australia, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States of America.
