Surveys and Surveillance

Click a topic to learn more about this component

Performance Goal

Produce timely and high quality data from surveys and surveillance.


Performance Results

The following elements are in place:

  • Protocols for all surveys and surveillance based on international standards.
  • Specified schedule for data collection linked to stakeholders’ needs, including identification of resources for implementation.
  • Inventory of HIV-related surveys conducted.
  • Well-functioning biological surveillance system.
  • Well-functioning behavioural surveillance system, including on cultural practices.

Description

Biological and behavioural surveillance and surveys are essential to determine the drivers and the spread of the HIV epidemic in each country. HIV surveillance and HIV surveys may focus on the general population, most-at-risk populations or both.

Some surveys countries may wish to conduct include: a survey capturing knowledge and attitudes of the general population; a school survey on HIV education and students’ knowledge; a work place survey on HIV policies and services; a survey of the quality of HIV services delivered at health facilities; a survey on the availability of condoms or other HIV prevention commodities; an AIDS impact mitigation survey. The need for surveys, as well as, the specific focus and content of each survey should be considered within the context of each country’s epidemic. Protocols and data collection tools should be based on international standards for surveys, such as the Demographic and Health Survey, the AIDS Indicator Survey, and the Multiple Cluster Indicator Survey. Adherence to standards is important to obtain high-quality data and to ensure that results from repeated surveys can be compared over time within a given country, as well as across countries. Where appropriate, surveillance and survey protocols should include data collection to support the construction of the standardized national indicators defined in the national M&E plan. This can help prevent the need for additional data collection efforts and additional costs.
