Risks & tensions

  • Document references 2020 and 2030 goals from existing strategies but creates no new binding commitments
  • Mentions 'Executive Order' updating National HIV/AIDS Strategy but does not specify EO number
  • Transition risk: Proclamation issued days before end of administration; substantive policy continuity depends on successor
