 | These indicator definitions draw on standard and recognized definitions while adapting them to the context of the HIV epidemic(s) in Nepal. The primary aim is to ensure that the epidemic and the response are tracked at national level by all partners. The selection of standardized and tested indicators will also allow regional comparisons within the country and with others in the region. Ultimately the selection of a core set of standardized UNGASS indicators will allow Nepal to report more easily on the global commitments towards reducing the spread of HIV.
