Somaliland’s response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic has been sustained by efforts from multiple partners at national, region and community levels from the government and non-government sectors. Many organizations were set up specifically to respond to HIV/AIDS while some programs were established under ministries, government departments and non-government organizations to address prevention and/or mitigation issues.
The 2008 inventory of HIV/AIDS organization put the figure of such organizations at about 38 though many community based initiatives are not captured. Similarly many responses under organizations that were not established to address health and socio-economic issues are difficult to capture since HIV/AIDS related activities are usually integrated in other services. Consequently, the MACA policy has mobilized efforts through government ministries and departments , local and international civil society organizations , faith-based organizations, organizations of People Living with HIV/AIDS , development partners and the private sector . Regions and communities have also to initiate and support implementation of initiatives with national level stakeholders. It is however recognized that Somaliland's modest achievements in fighting the epidemic cannot be attributed to a single stakeholder or even a cluster of stakeholders but the collective efforts of all. Great emphasis is therefore put on participatory coordination spearheaded by SOLNAC to ensure a harmonized focus on common goals, reduce duplication and ensure equity in service delivery.
