Swaziland Country Report on Monitoring the Political Declaration on HIV and AIDS 2012

In adopting the 2001 Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, UN member states are required to submit country progress reports to the UNAIDS Secretariat every two years. The UNAIDS Secretariat has the responsibility for developing the reporting process, accepting reports from member states, and preparing a report for the UN General Assembly. Data for the country reports come from the Ministry of Health and other government ministries, and from survey results and studies. The country reports provide high level figures for various AIDS-related indicators, including number of new cases and number of AIDS-related deaths.
