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

Inclusiveness of the Stakeholders in the Report Writing Process - The compilation of this country report was done by a core group comprised of the NACA (National Advisory Committee on AIDS) Secretariat - MOH, technical advisers from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and logistic facilitation from the UNAIDS office in Suva. The report process was preceded by a training on M&E, and establishment of the national M&E framework for the national HIV/AIDS strategies. The core group collected information through desk review, surveillance and survey reports, interviews with key persons, and a consultation workshop of NGOs where they focused on Part B of the NCPI1. The main stakeholders from government, civil society, and development agencies were brought together to review and endorse the UNGASS report in its entirety. Fiji’s Minister for Health, Women and Social Welfare was subsequently briefed and requested to sign the final document.
