This Website provides information and materials regarding strategic information (SI) and monitoring & evaluation (M&E) of international HIV/AIDS-related programs. This resource is regularly updated with new materials. These materials are intended to be used by various audiences in a variety of ways. For example, SI/M&E Field Officers serving in countries around the world will find the Webpage useful for refreshing their understanding of SI/M&E frameworks, expectations, and techniques; communicating with other Field Officers; and orienting new field staff and country counterparts to SI/M&E. Others working directly with HIV/AIDS-related programming will find useful information and tools for using SI/M&E approaches and data for program planning and improvement. Those concerned with international M&E in a variety of fields will find “generalizable” approaches and tools for conducting M&E, as well as focusing on SI/M&E strategic planning and capacity building.
At the present time, a large part of the information on this page relates to (1) the First International SI/M&E Field Officer Orientation held August 9-20, 2004, in Atlanta, Georgia; and, (2) SI/M&E Field Officer Regional Meetings held in Johannesburg, South Africa (March 1-4, 2005, for Southern Africa Region) and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (March 8-11, 2005, for East-West Africa Region). Resources provided in the Toolbox Materials, however, pertain to general issues of SI/M&E for international HIV and other health-related issues that should be of interest to a wide audience. Please visit the Website regularly, as information and materials are updated routinely.
