These instructions accompany the 12 Components Monitoring and Evaluation System As-sessment Tool. Geneva: UNAIDS, March 2009.

1. What is the purpose of these instructions?The instructions provide further clarification about the individual questions in the 12 Com-ponents M&E System Strengthening Tool. They are intended to be used by the facilitator(s) of a national HIV M&E assessment as well as by individuals and organisations participating in the assessment. They aim to ensure that everyone understands what is being assessed in the same way. The assessment is intended to be a diagnostic exercise to identify strengths and weaknesses in the HIV M&E system and to agree on actions needed to enhance M&E system performance.

2. How does the assessment tool function?The 12 Components M&E System Strengthening Tool is designed as a series of statements for which there are three response scales

1. a 5-point scale (Yes-completely, Mostly, Partly, No-not at all, Not Applicable) 2. a 3-point scale (Yes, No, Not Applicable) 3. numerical responses

For example, statement: “The frequency of data collection is stated for all indicators.” If such frequency is stated for all indicators, the response is “Yes-completely”. For at least 75% of indicators, the answer should be “Mostly”. If less than 50% of indicators have frequencies of data collection, the response should be “Partly”, and if no indicators have frequency indicated, the response should be “No-not at all”. In cases in which the state-ment is not applicable, respondents should select “Not Applicable”.

If the answer to a statement is anything other than “Yes-completely”, respondents are requested to provide an explanation in the COMMENT box. This will provide important information to consider in discussing the necessary actions to take. If possible, any com-ments that help to identify and plan for strategic interventions should also be recorded under “proposed activities”.

The electronic version of the tool is set up to facilitate selection of the response and sum-marizing the assessment results at the end of the assessment.

The appropriate response can be selected from a drop-down menu in the ANSWER col-umn. The “Yes-completely” responses will appear in green, “Mostly” and “Partly” will appear in yellow, and “No-not at all” will appear in red. This visualization in color will help with summarizing the assessment results and with prioritizing actions. A SUMMARY DASH-BOARD of the results will be automatically generated and display the distribution of scores overall and for each of the 12 components. It provides a visual representation of gaps in the HIV M&E system at different levels. A detailed review will help to prioritize the actions to be undertaken.

3. General comments about the toolFor group 1 (NACA), the title of the coordinating authority varies by country. Also, the loca-tion of the NACA varies (e.g. within the Prime Minister’s office, in the Ministry of Health, independent trust or parastatal); and the NACA might represent more than one coordina-tion structure (might be a NACA and a person/unit within president’s office.

Pre-assessment Checklist:1. Check if there is a National Strategic Plan for HIV2. Check if there is a National M&E Plan for HIV3. Review the M&E plan and check if:

» It describe all 12 components of an HIV M&E system?; » All the building blocks of performance for each component are described » The M&E plan has an estimate of the resources/budget required for M&E » The time period of National M&E Plan is aligned with the time period of NSP » It includes indicators to monitor progress & performance of the M&E system » Indicators of the National M&E Plan are aligned with objectives of the NSP » Data sources of indicator values are specified in the National M&E Plan » Measurement of each indicator is defined in the National M&E Plan » Frequencies of data collection for indicator values are specified » Data use plan is described » Baseline values are included for indicators » Targets are set for each indicator

§ Review the M&E plan, NSP or other relevant documents and calculate: » Percentage of total HIV programme funding from government allocated for M&E plan » Percentage of total HIV programme funding from development partners allocated for M&E plan

National HIV M&E Plan Checklist1. This checklist is to be used in conjunction with the Component 4 assessment.2. Its purpose is to rate the technical adequacy of the national HIV M&E plan by giving

a rating to various aspects of the M&E plan. It requires a thorough reading of the National M&E Plan and its annexes.

3. The workshop facilitator and the national HIV M&E coordinator should study the National M&E Plan (if one is in existence) BEFORE the assessment workshop and answer the following questions about it

4. At the workshop, the facilitator then presents the results of the National M&E Plan assessment for validation by the different groups (see statement 5 of the Component 4 assessment page). This implies that copies of the completed checklist should be available at the workshop.

List of ALL MERG Documents 2007-2009 1. A Framework for Monitoring and Evaluating HIV Preven-

tion Programmes for Most-At-Risk Populations (2007):

Provides an overview of M&E methods and approaches

for most at-risk populations; it covers the use of strategic

information for programme planning, M&E. Its focus is on the

M&E of targeted HIV prevention programmeM&E. Its focus is

on the M&E of targeted HIV prevention programme

2. Additional Recommended Indicators. Addendum to

UNGASS Monitoring the Declaration of Commitment on

HIV/AIDS, Guidelines on Construction of Core Indicators

(2008): Presents the 40 core national indicators that provide

minimum necessary information for national-level monitoring

of the HIV epidemic and response, and to provide detailed

specifications and guidance on the 15 indicators recommend-

ed in addition to the 25 UNGASS indicators

3. Organizing Framework for a Functional National HIV M&E

System (2008): This framework describes 12 main M&E

system components and defines a performance goal and re-

sults for each component. The framework helps countries to

define an agreed set of national performance objectives and

measures for the HIV M&E system and to guide strategies for

building capacity, where needed, to reach these objectives.

4. Glossary of M&E Terminology (2008): contains an alpha-

betical listing of M&E terms and their definitions often with

more in-depth explanations than would customarily be

provided by dictionary definitions. The Glossary will facilitate

and improve dialogue and understanding among all those

who are involved in M&E of development activities. It should

also serve as a valuable reference guide in M&E training.

The selection of terms and their definitions in the attached

glossary have been carefully discussed and endorsed by the

Global UNAIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Reference Group

(MERG)

5. Indicator Standards and Assessment Tool (2009): consists

of a set of agreed indicator standards that are relevant at the

national level for program managers and service providers,

who need to select, revise and use indicators to monitor,

manage and implement their country’s response to the

epidemic effectively monitor. This will ensure that indicators

provide decision-makers and key stakeholders with use-

ful, feasible and relevant information. An additional aim is

to reduce the burden of global reporting on countries by

harmonising global level indicators across multilateral and

bilateral organisations

6. Planning Tool for Developing a Digital Library of M&E Re-

sources (2009): A Planning Tool to help assure that users of a

digital library can successfully locate resources and can make

informed decisions regarding the quality of the materials. The

Planning Tool has two purposes: 1) To provide guidance to

current owners and future developers of a digital library on

the range of issues to be addressed in usability and user-

friendliness of the library and 2) To provide a list of questions

to help organizations brainstorm if they can and should invest

their resources in developing a digital library

7. Guidance HIV Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity-

building (2009): provides practical advice for national AIDS

programmes that are planning and implementing capacity

building activities as part of their effort to develop a unified

and effective national HIV monitoring and evaluation (M&E)

system. The Guidance is relevant to the wide range of indi-

viduals and organisations involved in the national HIV M&E

system; it is particularly relevant for the health sector, given

its central role in M&E of HIV.

8. 12 Components Monitoring and Evaluation System As-

sessment – Guidelines to support preparation, implemen-

tation and follow-up activities (2009): These Guidelines

provide information on the preparation for and implementa-

tion of an assessment of the national HIV monitoring and

evaluation (M&E) system. It also includes key steps to take

after an assessment to facilitate implementation of M&E sys-

tem strengthening activities. The Guidelines are built around

the 12 main components of the HIV M&E system, which de-

fine the Organizing Framework for a Functional National HIV

Monitoring and Evaluation System (UNAIDS, 2008). Conse-

quently, the Guidelines also focus on using the 12 Compo-

nents Monitoring and Evaluation System Strengthening Tool

(Geneva: UNAIDS, 2009a) to ensure a comprehensive and

successful assessment.

9. 12 Components Monitoring and Evaluation System

Strengthening Tool (2009): Is a tool is for assessing how well

each of the 12 components of a national HIV M&E system is

functioning. The tool facilitates the identification of strengths

and weaknesses in the national HIV M&E system and the

prioritization of system strengthening activities.

10. Guidelines for Developing Terms of Reference for Pre-

vention Evaluation (2009): The Guidelines aim to foster

a systematic approach to the evaluation of prevention

programs by focusing on an often overlooked yet critical step

in evaluation planning: the preparation of terms of reference

(TOR). It can be used to facilitate the planning of evaluations

for HIV prevention, discussions on the design of these evalu-

ations, and the drafting of TOR to guide such assessments. It

is intended for use by anyone who prepares or reviews TOR

for evaluations of HIV and AIDS prevention programs and

projects.
