Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how her Department monitors and assesses the effectiveness of HIV and AIDS awareness campaigns and training as part of their integration into wider health programmes funded by her Department; and how her Department measures reducing the incidence of HIV and AIDS.

DFID’s assessment of progress on integrating the HIV response and reducing incidence is drawn from reports and data produced by UNAIDS and other partners including the World Health Organisation and the Global Fund to fight AIDS TB and Malaria. Progress towards integration into wider health programmes is also informed through reviews, which are publicly available on the DFID Development Tracker, carried out by DFID in-country health advisers.
