As the body of knowledge surrounding HIV grows, so does the interest in monitoring and evaluating the success of programmes designed to reduce the spread of infection and the impact it has on the lives of families and communities. This interest comes from national governments as well as from the taxpayers, programme directors and international donors who support their efforts.

This toolkit, produced by MEASURE Evaluation and UNAIDS, aims to summarise the best practices in the field of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of national HIV and AIDS programmes at the end of the 1990s, and to recommend options for M&E systems in the future. The introduction outlines the contents of the toolkit and gives an overview of the different functions of surveillance, monitoring and evaluation. The next part of the guide describes the main features of a sound M&E system. Finally, indicators for key areas of HIV prevention, AIDS care and STI control programmes are proposed. In proposing indicators, the guide takes into account existing standards and experience. [adapted from author]
