The first-ever one-stop online resource hub providing comprehensive and easy-to-access HIV and AIDS data in Asia and the Pacific was launched yesterday.

The Evidence to Action Initiative – a partnership between the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the UN Joint Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS), the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) – provides user-friendly data on most-at-risk population groups, women, children, and young people, disaggregated by age and sex.

It also probes the provincial and district-level situation where data are available, and provides updates on the prevalence, behaviours and national responses.
