  4. Stakeholder Analysis-UNGASS • UNGASS process • United Nations General Assembly on HIV/AIDS is started on 2001 under a special session initiate by UN Secretary General. The session is a functional commission of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), It is the principal global policy-making body. Every year, representatives of Member States gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York to evaluate progress on HIV/AIDS, identify challenges, set global standards and formulate concrete policies to promote HIV/AIDS programme and policies by using UNGASS annual report.

  5. UNGASS-the process Regional consultation: selection made by UNAIDS national and regional offices. Civil Society representatives can join the session but no power to vote yet present the report. Government will send country delegation, to create compilation of recommendation based on the UNGASS report.

  6. 10 Countries Quanti-Quali Utilize original indicator Youth-led Verified by academia • 2008 Community research using UNGASS Indicator • Youth Shadow Report

  7. Findings: • Limited information on age disaggregated data. • UNGASS Commitment failed- • The United Nations Secretary General’s reports that in 2007, national surveys found that 40 per cent of young males (ages 15-24) and 36 percent of young females had accurate knowledge regarding HIV — still well below the 95 per cent goal for young people’s HIV knowledge . • Invest on youth leadership-questionable • A recent mapping of youth organizations and initiative across 21 countries in Asia done by UNFPA indicates that there is no well-established and functioning regional level youth-led network focusing on sexual and reproductive health including HIV; and it leads to scarcity of national and community based young people-led network as the problem of sustainability and support.
