Description: At the African Summit on HIV/AIDS,Tuberculosis and Other Related Infectious Diseases in Abuja, Nigeria in 2001, African leaders requested the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Secretariat, in collaboration with UN agencies, to monitor progress toward implementation of the Declarations made there. Four organizations have undertaken this task: the African Union (and formerly, the OAU), the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and the World Health Organization (WHO). Scoring African Leadership for Better Health is the result of this collaborative assessment of the Abuja commitments and beyond. It evaluates progress on Declarations for the period 2001-2003, emphasizes best country practices, and highlights lessons learnt.
