Civil Society Involvement in the National HIV Response in Asia-Pacific Countries: Analysis of UNGASS Progress Reports. HIV and AIDS Data Hub for Asia-Pacific (2009)

Civil Society Involvement in the National HIV Response in Asia-Pacific Countries: Analysis of UNGASS Progress Reports. HIV and AIDS Data Hub for Asia-Pacific (2009)This analysis was done of the National Composite Policy Index (NCPI) data that 136 countries submitted as part of the 2008 UNGASS reporting round. The NCPI , one of the standardized UNGASS indicators, is an extensive questionnaire that focuses on the strategic, policy and legal frameworks of national HIV responses. It includes questions about civil society involvement, and part of the questionnaire is intended to be completed by nongovernment representatives, including civil society. Data was compiled from all NCPI reports submitted – including 22 from countries in the Asia-Pacific region. In summary, civil society respondents in the Asia-Pacific region were less satisfied with their involvement in their country’s national response to HIV and AIDS as compared to their global counterparts for each indicator assessed.
