The UK government, as the fourth largest donor to UNAIDS, and as a member of the Programme Coordinating Board, closely monitors progress towards all of UNAIDS indicators including on the decentralisation and integration of HIV services. We rely on UNAIDS and country data to assess progress in specific countries.

The UK expects all its bilateral health systems strengthening programmes in high burden countries to integrate HIV. DFID does not track UK specific progress using a unified central indicator.
