 Data Dissemination and Use Resources

Human Capacity for HIV M&E

Click a topic to learn more about this component

Performance Goal

Disseminate and use data from the M&E system to guide policy formulation and programme planning and improvement.


Performance Results

The following elements are in place:

  • The National Strategic Plan and the national M&E plan include a data use plan.
  • Analysis of data needs and data users.
  • Data use calendar to guide the timetable for major data collection efforts and reporting requirements.
  • Timetable for national reporting.
  • Standard format for reporting and data tabulation.
  • Information products tailored to different audiences and a dissemination schedule.
  • Evidence of information use (e.g., data referenced in funding proposals and planning documents).

Description

The most important reason for conducting M&E is to provide the data needed for guiding policy formulation and programme operations. A detailed data use plan should be included in the national M&E plan; this plan should link data needs and data collection efforts with specific information products for different audiences, as well as a timetable for dissemination. It should also include activities to encourage data use, such as workshops to discuss the implications of M&E data for programme planning and improvement. A functional M&E system collates and presents the data in a way that facilitates data use at all levels, including the general public and beneficiaries of HIV services. Evidence of data use includes:

  • The National Strategic Plan explicitly references the most up-to-date data on drivers of the HIV epidemic;
  • HIV reports include accurate references to available M&E data; and,
  • HIV service implementers refer to M&E data in their HIV programming.

There are a range of strategies to promote data dissemination and use, including: ensuring ownership of data; ensuring dissemination of good quality data in a timely manner; determining appropriate information products for different users; allocating sufficient resources for data dissemination; and, providing assistance for data use.
