ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:

In FY 2009, a Demographic Health Survey (DHS) will be conducted.

The MOH, the National Institute of Statistics (NISR), and Macro International conducted the 2005 Rwanda

Demographic Health Survey (RDHS), the first nationwide survey of its kind in Rwanda that included HIV

testing. The GOR plans to carry out a similar survey in 2010 that will inform the country's progress on the

Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy (EDPRS) targets.

Macro International will support NISR to implement DHS 2010. In FY 2008, funding was provided for the

preliminary activities related to this survey that include establishment of the steering and technical

committees, developing and modification of survey instruments and sampling frame, and creating the

timeline. DHS 2010 will be the second DHS conducted with HIV testing. Based on past experience, early

planning for the survey is essential to ensure that field data collection is completed by 2010.

This activity reflects the ideas presented in the PEPFAR Five-Year HIV/AIDS Strategy in Rwanda and the

GOR National Multi-Sectoral Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS Control (2005-2009) by directly supporting the

development of a sustainable strategic information system for the national HIV/AIDS program.
