What does the NHS mean for the
Law & justice sector?
The NHS aims to improve the implementation of laws
that protect human rights such as the HAMP Act. It has
strategic objectives about how the law and justice
sector can protect vulnerable people from HIV such as
prisoners or youths who are in trouble with the law.
In the NHS, 31 strategic objectives and 60 major
activity areas list the Law and Justice Sector as one
of the key implementers.

Monitoring and
Evaluation Framework
Group exercise: Think about and Discuss
Look at the indicators for the strategic objectives that
are part of organisations work. Do you currently
collect this information?
• If yes how is it reported and to whom?
• If no how could you collect the information and
how could it be reported?
Possible indicators for the LJS
LJS annual expenditure on HIV and AIDS disaggregated by
agency and by recurrent, development or external funding
sources (P-3, C-2.3, SO-2.3.4)
LJS annual expenditure on HIV and AIDS as a proportion
of total annual funding disaggregated by agency (P-3, C2.3, SO-2.3.4)
Annual number of HIV related cases recorded disaggregated
by village courts, district courts, national courts, office of
public prosecutor, office of public solicitor and outcome (i.e.
dropped, successfully prosecuted, unsuccessfully
prosecuted) (P-3, C2.5, SO-2.5.1)
Percentage of LJS organisations with appropriate
HIV workplace policies and strategies (P1, C3.2,
SO3.2.2)
