Global M&E Framework: UNGASS DoC on HIV/AIDS
44
• The approach adopted to ensure the fullest possible implementation of the DoC
is based on three principles:
– Implementing the DoC is a collective responsibility
– Existing capacities, mechanisms and processes need to be strengthened
– The DoC is a unifying and motivational tool
• The core indicators help in monitoring progress towards achieving the goals of
the UNGASS DoC. These indicators have been incorporated into a methods
package called Monitoring the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS
Guidelines on construction of core indicators, which can be downloaded from the
UNAIDS website.
• Not all indicators may be equally relevant to all countries and some countries
may report on additional indicators relevant to their specific situations.
• The UNAIDS Secretariat at headquarters will be responsible for collecting,
compiling, analysing and preparing summary reports for global indicators, while
national governments (especially NACs) will be responsible for reporting on the
progress made in the areas of national indicators.
• Broad consultations at the planning and reporting phases of the process are
recommended to ensure proper implementation of the DoC M&E framework.
• The identity, specification and method of construction of the core, alternative
and additional indicators will be reviewed on a regular basis by UNAIDS and its
partners, and revisions will be made as and when necessary.
