Funding for Strategic Information (HVSI): $400,000

A multi-level approach to strengthen capacity at the individual, organizational and systems level will be used in order to create organizational and technically sustainable M&E and surveillance systems for the national response to HIV/AIDS. This may include technical assistance and training in 1) appropriate surveillance and M & E methods, 2) management and analysis of data, and 3) effective use of system-generated data at all levels. At the individual level, technical assistance will be provided to strengthen routine (clinical and non clinical) data collection, analysis and use throughout the various levels of the M&E system. At the organizational level, assistance will support ongoing efforts to strengthen technical and organizational capacity to enhance the role of the national leadership in informing and coordinating the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. At the system level, assistance will support opportunities to engage in community program systems development, site assessments and supervision, and south to south technical assistance regarding best practices on strengthening community based monitoring systems. By building capacity at the various levels, one can ensure that the different level activities support each other.
