“…Indictors had to be meaningful, pragmatic and able to objectively measure quality of implementation. Selection of core indicators for monitoring implementation was based on a systematic review of the framework for monitoring and evaluation China’s national AIDS program, 7 indicators used in UNGASS reporting, 8 indicators used in Global Fund program 9 and indicators used in assessing universal access 10 . For pragmatism, meaningfulness and sustainability, the indicators selected and used were among those that could be directly retrieved from the existing data collection system, i.e.…”

Background China has been scaling up its national AIDS programs since 2004. We tested a hypothesis that incrementally setting realistic quantitative targets for key indicators and monitoring performance would facilitate AIDS policy implementation in China.Methods Core indicators monitoring the national AIDS program were developed, modified and used from 2007 through 2009. Targets of core indicators were set incrementally and monitored annually. Data were collected and reported from local counties in all 31 provinces of mainland China. Changes of core indicators from 2007 to 2009 were calculated and compared using Cochran–Armitage Trend tests.Results The number of patients receiving free anti-retroviral treatment and methadone maintenance treatment increased from 41 777 to 81 739, from 97 554 to 241 975, respectively, between 2007 and 2009. The proportion of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases with a completed epidemiological investigation increased from 77.7% in 2007 to 91.1% in 2009 (P < 0.0001). The proportion of spouses of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases being tested for HIV increased from 24.7 to 63.4% (P < 0.001). Follow-up visits to people with HIV and AIDS increased from 32.8 and 34.0% in 2007 to 74.6 and 78.5% in 2009, respectively (both P < 0.0001). The proportion of CD4+ cell count monitoring for people with HIV and AIDS increased from 45.3 and 10.1% in 2007 to 54.2 and 62.5% in 2009, respectively (both P < 0.001). Viral load monitoring for AIDS patients receiving anti-retroviral treatment increased from 9.1 to 48.5% (P < 0.001).Conclusions Setting targets for core indicators and monitoring performance has facilitated implementation of the national AIDS program in China.

“…The performance of the Global AIDS reporting indicators has been reviewed after each round of reporting and revised in response to technical issues, as well as new programmatic developments. As a result, reporting has continued to improve in both comprehensiveness and quality and, due to the active involvement of country representatives, has become more responsive to country needs [ 15 ]. In 2010, a major review of the reporting system and the indicators was executed by UNAIDS Secretariat and co-sponsors in tandem with civil society, using explicit guidelines for indicator quality enhancement [ 16 ] in order to update and refine the system when the UNGASS indicators became the Global AIDS Response Programme Reporting indicators (GARPR).…”

Since 2001 the UNAIDS Secretariat has retained the responsibility for monitoring progress towards global commitments on HIV/AIDS. Key critical characteristics of the reporting system were assessed for the reporting period from 2004 to 2014 and analyses were undertaken of response rates and core indicator performance. Country submission rates ranged from 102 (53%) Member States in 2004 to 186 (96%) in 2012. There was great variance in response rates for specific indicators, with the highest response rates for treatment-related indicators. The Global AIDS reporting system has improved substantially over time and has provided key trend data on responses to the HIV epidemic, serving as the global accountability mechanism and providing reference data on the global AIDS response. It will be critical that reporting systems continue to evolve to support the monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals, in view of ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10461-016-1662-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…53 The UN Secretary-General subsequently placed UNAIDS in charge of monitoring DoC implementation while subsequent General Assembly resolutions mandated UNAIDS to support countries in monitoring DoC implementation. 54 The UNAIDS Secretariat, in consultation with its Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group (MERG), responded by establishing a monitoring framework, known as the UNGASS reporting system -referred to as the Global AIDS Response Progress Reporting (GARPR) since 2011.…”

Recent debate over World Health Organization reform has included unprecedented attention to international lawmaking as a future priority function of the Organization. However, the debate is largely focused on the codification of new binding legal instruments. Drawing upon lessons from the success of the Global AIDS Reporting Mechanism, established pursuant to the United Nations' Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, we argue that effective global health governance requires consideration of a broad range of instruments, both binding and nonbinding. A detailed examination of the Global AIDS Reporting Mechanism reveals that the choice of the nonbinding format makes an important contribution to its effectiveness. For instance, the flexibility and adaptability of the nonbinding format have allowed the global community to: (1) undertake commitments in a timely manner; (2) adapt and experiment in the face of a dynamic pandemic; and (3) grant civil society an unparalleled role in monitoring and reporting on state implementation of global commitments. UNAIDS' institutional support has also played a vital role in ensuring the continuing effectiveness of the Global AIDS Reporting Mechanism. Overall, the experience of the Global AIDS Reporting Mechanism evidences that, at times, nimbler nonbinding instruments can offer benefits over slower, more rigid binding legal approaches to governance, but depend critically, like all instruments, on the perceived legitimacy thereof.
