Description:  The indicators and questions in this document are designed for use by national AIDS programmes and partners to assess the state of a country’s HIV and AIDS response, and to measure progress towards achieving national HIV targets. Countries are encouraged to integrate these indicators and questions into their ongoing monitoring efforts and to report comprehensive national data through the Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) process. The Global AIDS Monitoring process has often been referenced as a benchmark for successful international accountability mechanisms. The lessons from past rounds serve us well for the upcoming reporting—providing an evidence-informed road map for timely, high-quality and complete reporting at an accelerated and streamlined pace.

Additional guidance for Latin American and Caribbean countries — Regional indicators to measure progress towards zero discrimination — Global AIDS Monitoring 2022

The Second Latin American and Caribbean Forum for the Continuum of HIV Care was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2015. The Forum’s participants, comprised of representatives from the region’s National HIV/AIDS Programs, civil society, key populations (KPs), people living with HIV (PLHIV), academia, and donor agencies, adopted a “Call to Action”, that included regional targets on prevention and zero discrimination for 2020. Subsequently, UNAIDS, UNDP, UN Women and UNFPA LAC offices developed indicators, with input from governments, civil society and other stakeholders, to measure progress towards the zero discrimination targets at the country and the regional levels. Three indicators have been prioritized and included in this document. All countries in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region are expected to report on these indicators for the year 2021.
