HIV Evaluation and Research

Click a topic to learn more about this component

Performance Goal

Identify key evaluation and research questions, coordinate studies to meet the identified needs, and enhance the use of evaluation and research findings.


Performance Results

The following elements are in place:

  • Inventory of completed and ongoing country-specific HIV evaluation and research studies.
  • Inventory of local HIV evaluation and research capacity, including major research institutions and their focus of work.
  • National HIV evaluation and research agenda.
  • Ethical approval procedures and standards.
  • Guidance on evaluation and research standards and appropriate methods.
  • National conference or forum for dissemination and discussion of HIV research and evaluation findings.
  • Evidence of use of evaluation and research findings (e.g., referenced in planning documents).

Description

Evaluation and research are essential but often neglected components of a comprehensive HIV M&E system. Appropriate use of evaluation/research data ensures that the planning of the HIV response is based on the best available evidence and guides ongoing programme improvement. Establishing a national process for identifying evaluation/research gaps relevant to the National Strategic Plan and for coordinating evaluation/research partners helps ensure that evaluation/research studies are relevant to the country’s needs and provide actionable results; that evaluation/ research efforts are coordinated to avoid duplication of effort; and that study results are shared and available for use in decision-making.

As a first step, it is important to take stock of what is already happening at national research institutions and other relevant organisations and to invite these key stakeholders to become part of the national process.

A national process may focus on:

  • Governance structures for evaluation and research, including requirements for registration of studies and local dissemination of study findings;
  • Ethical approval procedures and standards;
  • A prioritised agenda of biomedical, social sciences, and programme operations research; and,
  • Mechanisms for the use of evaluation and research findings
