Bangladesh: UNGASS 2008 Country Progress Report (January 2006-December 2007)

The UNGASS reporting process included a desk review of reports and data relating to the HIV/AIDS situation in Bangladesh; the identification of stakeholders and their various contributions to the reporting process; a review of other data needs for the report; development of a plan for information collection; and the development of tools for data collection. These initial steps and the collation and analysis of data were undertaken by the National STD/AIDS Programme (NASP) of the Ministry of Health in coordination with partner organizations. Many stakeholders, including representatives of other government agencies, civil society organisations, people living with HIV, and UN agencies and other development partners, were involved in the reporting process.
