Uganda AIDS Accountability Scorecard
May 6, 2014
Uganda's first National AIDS Accountability scorecard rates the degree to which government is fulfilling its commitment to respond to the epidemic. The scorecard enables evaluation, monitoring and benchmarking Uganda's performance as per the National HIV/Aids Strategic Plan 2011/12 - 2014/15, and the report also presents the process of preparating and executing the scorecard exercise itself. The voices and assessment given by the beneficiaries in the communities provide a better understanding of the efforts done by the different players in addressing the HIV epidemic.
