“We need a data revolution in order to have the right information to track the progress countries are making towards the Fast-Track targets,” said Steve Kraus, Director of the UNAIDS Regional Support Team for Asia and the Pacific. “The AIDSDataHub app supports researchers, government and civil society programme managers by providing a comprehensive set of accurate information on a regular basis.”
The app can be downloaded for free through the Apple store or Google Play. Many of the graphs and visuals contain key messages, which support evidence-informed solutions and can help with Fast-Track advocacy efforts. (UNAIDS Bagkok - Data Hub Evidence To Action, 25.01.2017)
