"MULTISECTORAL & LOCAL AIDS RESPONSES: MOVING FROM IMPLEMENTATION TO MEASURING RESULTS "

Session outline:

In line with the 2001 UNGASS Declaration of Commitment, development sectors and local government authorities have increasingly been contributing to national AIDS responses. To respond to the growing demands for accountability and results, M&E frameworks for national AIDS responses need to monitor progress and assess results of this multi-sectoral and multi-level mobilisation. This session offers an open forum to discuss current practice and further strengthen country capacity in this important area.
