Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS
2001 UNGASS on HIV/AIDS, UN New York
2006 High Level Meeting on AIDS, UN New York
In adopting the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, Member States obligated themselves to regularly report on their progress to the General Assembly. The Secretary-General charged the UNAIDS Secretariat with the responsibility for developing the reporting process, accepting reports from member States on his behalf, and preparing a regular report for the General Assembly. Member States are required to submit Country Progress reports to the UNAIDS Secretariat every two years.
In close collaboration with national governments, UNAIDS Co-sponsors and development partners, the UNAIDS Secretariat developed a set of Core Indicators for the monitoring of the Declaration of Commitment for the first round of reporting in 2003. After each subsequent reporting round these indicators have been reviewed and, if necessary, updated, based on an analysis of indicator performance in previous reporting rounds, advice from partners and programmatic developments
