This National HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Plan (MEP) is a companion to the new National HIV/AIDS Strategic Framework (NASF) for the period 2011–2015. This MEP not only provides for the monitoring and evaluation of the NASF 2011–2015, but also contains the operational plan of how it will be realized. The first case of HIV was diagnosed in 1984 in Zambia. In 1986, the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) established the National AIDS Prevention and Control Programme (NAPCP) with assistance from the World Health Organisation (WHO) to ensure a coordinated response. Several plans were formulated and implemented, including the emergency short-term plan of 1987, the two Medium Term Plans (MTP1 and MTP2) of 1988–1992 and 1994–1998, respectively.
