Papua New Guinea

HIV/AIDS in PNG has been identified as a major threat to the development of the nation, with the country becoming the 4th in the Asia-Pacific region to have a generalized epidemic. HIV/AIDS could undermine efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.

As part of the National Strategic Plan on HIV/AIDS 2004-2010, UNDP is taking several steps to help the government of PNG monitor the spread of the disease, take action to prevent it and treat those living with HIV/AIDS.

UNDP Papua New Guinea is helping to fight HIV and AIDS through the following project:

HIV/AIDS Management Programme: This UNDP initiated UN Joint Project aims to support the national commitment to develop a strong epidemiological database of HIV/AIDS, which will play a crucial role in monitoring the spread of the disease and assessing its impact on development targets. This project is on-going until 2012.
