Monitoring and evaluation

WHO launched in May the long-awaited Global Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!): Guidance to Support Country Implementation. Click here for the press-release and other resources. This is a guidance to operationalize the adolescent component of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2020). Interestingly, this new guidance moves away from entry points for adolescent health, as HIV and SRH, to address broader adolescent health issues.  Click here to access the AA-HA! guidance document.

This compendium of case studies showcases innovative approaches to integrated HIV-SRH service delivery for improving MNCH outcomes, and strengthening health and community systems. It is hoped that the 11 case studies included in this publication will help to inform future programming by providing examples of promising practices related to integration in sub-Saharan Africa in order to extrapolate the common elements of, and barriers to, effective integrated service delivery.

This publication is an update of the 2005 guidelines for measuring national HIV prevalence in population-based surveys of the UNAIDS/WHO Working Group on Global HIV/AIDS and STI Surveillance.

The purpose of the revised guidelines is to assist programme officers in monitoring the HIV epidemic and the impact of the country’s AIDS response by designing and implementing population-based surveys that include HIV infection, sexually transmitted infections, and other bloodborne biomarkers.

This document provides guidance on monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the comprehensive package of interventions to address HIV among key populations: men who have sex with men, people in prisons and other closed settings, people who inject drugs, sex workers and transgender people.

This document provides countries with:

• a set of harmonized indicators to examine the implementation of the package of interventions to address HIV among key populations; and
• guidance on setting targets for these indicators.

The purpose of this framework is to provide operational guidance on monitoring and evaluation of pregnant and breastfeeding women receiving ART for life and their HEIs. This document is organized around a series of recommendations for the operationalization of monitoring, both routine (Section 1) and enhanced (Section 2), and the evaluation (Section 3) of programmes implementing lifelong ART for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants.

In December 2015 during World AIDS Day, U-Report polled 10 countries around HIV/AIDS. One of the main findings was that fear was a key barrier on HIV testing among young people.
