How does the data collection work?
Patient monitoring Detailed patient data base for the first
100 naives patients enrolled to the pilot phase,
Database on 80 patients enrolled in the two clinical trials ANRS1204/ ANRS1206
Few initiatives on the remaining Data not being collected regularly
Lack of systematized data collection
Strategic objectives
Nationwide access to ARV drugs planned Strenghten capacities in the 11 regions
Increasing number of PLWHA treated 7000 patients by 2006
M&E system urgently needed!!! Weak part of the program to be improved
M&E approach M&E system already in place
For other priority diseases except HIV/AIDS new strategies (PMTCT,
ART..)
Building up process for HIV/AIDS: Capacity building**
M&E Unit: NACA, MOH, and other ministries Strengthening technical resources: training
M&E approach (2)
M&E plan developed Workshop in June 2003: set of indicators
for each components ** (UNGASS/MAP) M&E tools and Operational guidelines to
be developed training Data collection plan

Workshop series Update and reinforce competencies in M&E within
targeted sectors (health, education, youth…) Priority for the Health sector TOT, training series
M&E tools development Data collection plan Data collection forms Defining evaluation system and calendar
M&E sub- units to be set up at the regional level,
Contracting services ???
Specifics needs
Lack of technical resources : Urgent need to
Strenghten HR capacities in M&E Recruit human resources for M&E units at each
level
More use of available data Systematisation of information, Regular data collection
For patient monitoring and program monitoring
Specifics needs
ARV delivery system to be improved Logistical issues
Better planning of Evaluations for all ISAARV components Evaluation of the pilot phase (ANRS 02) More in-dept Cost-effectiveness analysis
External expertise needed
