This is a continuing activity from FY08.

In FY09, PEPFAR will support ORC/MACRO to continue to provide technical assistance to Vietnam in the

development of a culture of data use and direct support to M&E HCD through training and curriculum

development for in-service and pre-service training activities. In previous years, Macro has worked closely

with the M&E unit of the Vietnam Administration for HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) to design basic M&E curricula

specific for the Vietnam context and its concentrated epidemic. National training-of-trainers, regional

trainings, and district trainings at the service provider level have resulted from this collaborative effort.

VAAC and PEPFAR Vietnam has identified continued training needs for more specific M&E knowledge and

skills, including data management, qualitative and quantitative study methods, data quality assessments

and data use and advocacy. Funds will be used for needs assessments, curricula development, and training

of trainers (TOTs) in these subject areas.

Funds will also support direct technical assistance in measuring and mapping most at risk populations

(MARPs) and improved focus and coverage of services for these populations. Macro will assist Vietnam in

identifying the most feasible and innovative methods for enumerating hard to reach populations, improving

upon the methods soon to be applied by FHI and the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. In

addition, program support to the Vietnam's Care and Treatment team, Macro will provide technical

assistance in estimating OVC and PLHIV numbers using the most cost-effective approach for a

concentrated epidemic, where population-based surveys and censuses have limited applicability. Focus will

also be paid to mapping the catchment areas of these populations to demonstrate PEPFAR programs'

reach and coverage.

Furthermore, Macro has worked in the Southeast Asia region on GIS and will bring extensive expertise to

the national technical working group for GIS. Funds will be used for TA, as well as for building data

resources for GIS.
