The centre routinely tracks HIV/AIDS numbers and prevalence rates in the region. As part of the planning process most countries in the region have also established a separate body with responsibility for the co-ordination of multisectoral activities and the various micro-level responses on a national level. This body is usually established under the Ministry of Health, as in the case of Jamaica, but is sometimes established as part of the Prime Minister's office, as in The Bahamas, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. We will deal with this later.
