Welcome!

This site is dedicated to tracking compliance with the Declaration of Commitment, 2001, the single most important international HIV/AIDS policy instrument in the fight against AIDS. By committing to the Declaration countries agreed to time-bound commitments and a regular process to review their progress in meeting those commitments. A number of years have past since the Declaration was signed. As AIDS campaigners we have to keep the memory of the UNGASS promises and the enthusiasm to achieve them as alive as if those commitments were made yesterday.
