Footnotes:
  1. Data for this indicator in the 2003 UNGASS reported only domestic expenditure towards the national response. DP (Development Partner) contributions make up 7,200,000 USD for a total of 42,200,000 USD in national expenditure. DP sources for this indicator include donor, private sector and NGO contributions.
  2. Data for this indicator in the 2003 UNGASS reported only on knowledge of some components of the indicator, that is: abstaining from sex, using condoms and limiting the number of sexual partners; while the 2005 reports on the full composite indicator.
  3. Data for this indicator was mistakenly omitted from the 2003 UNGASS and recorded as unavailable, although in actuality it was available from the 2000 NDHS report.
  4. Data for this indicator was estimated using the cumulative percent of ARV patients reported being alive from those ART sites which provided monthly summary reports to MoHSS national level. It should be noted that data for this indicator is incomplete as not all sites reported therefore only providing partial representation.
