Monitoring and
evaluation tools
Monitoring and
Evaluating Voluntary Counseling and Testing Services
This Monitoring and Evaluation series is based on
the assumption that Core Module 1 (Introduction to
Monitoring and Evaluation) is always the first
module, that it is followed directly by Core Module
2 (Collecting, Analyzing, and Using Monitoring
Data), which is followed by one or more of the
optional technical area modules (Modules 4 through
10), and that in all cases the final module is Core
Module 3 (Developing a Monitoring and Evaluation
Plan).
The rapid scale up of the response has been accompanied by an
increasing emphasis on measurable indicators and
results. These include programme monitoring data,
behavioural and biological trends data and
evaluation of programmes. The increasing demands on
country monitoring and evaluation systems can only
be met if better systems are built and supported.
WHO’s work is strengthening of M&E systems in
countries is conducted in a close collaboration with
UNAIDS, World Bank, UNICEF; CDC, USAID and many
other partners. This partnership aims to support
countries in the development of better M&E systems.
This includes the development of a national M&E plan
based upon a simple framework, selected indicators
and a plan for data collection, reporting, analysis
and dissemination strategy for the next three to
five years; training and capacity building of M&E
staff; development of regional networks of
consultants and institutions for technical
assistance; development of locally appropriate tools
and methods for M&E; development of a data
management system (CRIS). It is also important to
link the national M&E plans to international goals
such as the goals set at the UNGASS Declaration on
HIV/AIDS and the Millenium Development Goals.
