- Abstract
"This situational assessment was commissioned by the UN Theme Group on HIV/AIDS, funded by UNICEF and WHO, to support the Ministry of Health’s Department of Public Health (DPH), as part of the National HIV/AIDS Council, in the development of a new multi-sectoral National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS for 2007-2011, as a follow-up to the current National Strategic Plan (NSP) that was developed in 2000.
The objectives of this document are first, to update the situational analysis conducted in 2000, taking into account the changes that the Maldives have undergone since then; second, to review ongoing responses to HIV/AIDS in the country; and third, to provide basic recommendations for initializing new, expand or strengthen existing interventions, as a first step in the forthcoming strategic planning process."
