Zanzibar’s National HIV M& E System bears fruit soon after launch
/ 2008

Setting up a functioning HIV monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system in Zanzibar wasn't easy or fast. But persistent and carefully planned efforts have borne fruit. Even skeptics now see how generating good M&E data enable good decisions that achieve better results. In 2002, the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar (RGoZ) established the Zanzibar AIDS Commission (ZAC) with the mandate of leading, managing and coordinating the national multi-sectoral response to HIV in Zanzibar. In developing and implementing the five year Zanzibar National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan (ZNSP), Zanzibar has tried to mobilize all Government and non Governmental sectors to design and implement various HIV interventions in Zanzibar.
