Supportive Supervision and Data Auditing

Click a topic to learn more about this component

Performance Goal

Monitor data quality periodically and address any obstacles to producing high-quality data (i.e., data that are valid, reliable, comprehensive, and timely).


Performance Results

The following elements are in place:

  • Guidelines for supervising routine data collection at facility- and community-based HIV service delivery levels.
  • Routine supervision visits, including data assessments and feedback to local staff.
  • Periodic data quality audits.
  • Supervision reports and audit reports.

Description

Supportive supervision refers to overseeing and directing the performance of others and transferring the knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are essential for successful M&E of HIV activities. It offers an opportunity to take stock of the work that has been done; critically reflect on it; provide feed-back to local staff; and where appropriate, provide specific guidance to make improvements.

Data auditing is the process of verifying the completeness and accuracy of reported aggregate HIV programme data. This typically requires field visits to organisations that reported the data in order to check these data against client or other individual records.

For sound decision-making, it is important to be confident about data quality. Regular data quality checks and provision of feedback are important mechanisms to improve or sustain data quality. Guidelines for supportive supervision are useful in order to communicate expectations and standardize procedures. Supportive supervision should be conducted with a sample of HIV service delivery organisations (i.e., not all providers), and can also be used as a mechanism to strengthen local M&E capacity. Data auditing requires that indicator protocols are in place, as well as protocols for data quality audits. It may be cost- and time-effective to combine supportive M&E supervision with financial and/or programme implementation supervision.
