In September 2003, the World Health Organization published a detailed review of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and surveillance practices in the 46 countries of the WHO African Region. The current report, HIV/AIDS epidemiological surveillance report for the WHO African Region: 2005 Update, provides the most recent update of the HIV/AIDS situation in that part of the world. | Surveillance |

The guidelines have been developed to assist surveillance officers and programme managers involved in HIV/AIDS surveillance activities in planning and conducting populationbased HIV prevalence surveys. The document describes the various processes involved in planning a survey (including survey design, sampling methods, HIV strategies, questionnaire design, budget planning, ethical considerations and survey operations) and conducting a population-based survey (including field operations, HIV testing and data management). | Surveillance |

| The report also consults the views of people representing institutions in three key sectors that, where not properly addressed, generate much of the vulnerability that people living with HIV face on a daily basis: health care (doctors, nurses and other staff), education (administrators and teachers) and the workplace (employers and co-workers). | [n/a] |

| This HIV counseling and testing manual is designed for service providers and counselors working with youth. Approximately one-third of clients who seek HIV testing are youth, and these young people often have different needs than do adults. | Capacity Building |
| For all these reasons, a range of stakeholders wished to determine the feasibility of a private sectorled long-term intervention (LTI) to reduce the HIV-infection rate among
apparel workers and to provide care and support for those already. By providing employment for poor and relatively unskilled workers, most of whom are women, the apparel industry is combating two of the key long-term drivers of the HIV/AIDS epidemic: poverty and gender inequity.

| The CORE Initiative is pleased to release Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation of Community- and Faith-based Programs. This manual has been especially designed for local implementing agencies. In fact, several community- and faith-based organizations provided case examples and narratives for the manual. | Monitoring; Evaluation |
| Civil society networks play a vital role in supporting and developing key services required to respond to the HIV epidemic. Those networks that represent communities are keys to the dynamics of HIV transmission are particularly important, specifically in their involvement in decision making and programming around HIV. It is anticipated that these toolkits will be of particular use to these networks of key populations. The aim of this toolkit is to build the skills required by civil society networks to develop and strengthen their capacity. It can be used by networks to help identify their capacity building needs, plan technical support interventions, and monitor and evaluate the impact of capacity building. | Capacity Building |
| In sub-Saharan Africa, an estimated 12 million children under the age of 18 have lost a parent to AIDS. Despite this situation, the evidence regarding effectiveness of interventions targeting these children remains scant. This paper contributes to the literature by evaluating the impact of a community-based program implemented by a Zambian nongovernmental agency (NGO) on educational outcomes among orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Lusaka, Zambia. | Evaluation |
| This document summarizes discussions on Biological and Clinical Data Collection in Population Surveys in Less Developed Countries held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., in January 2000. The meeting was organized by MEASURE Evaluation on behalf of a coordinating committee that included representatives of MEASURE DHS+, MEASURE CDC/Division of Reproductive Health, USAID, Johns Hopkins University and MEASURE Evaluation. It was sponsored by the USAID Office of Health and Nutrition. | Surveillance; Capacity Building |
| This article argues for attention to a neglected dimension of family planning services—their quality. A framework for assessing quality from the client’s perspective is offered, consisting of six parts (choice of methods, information given to clients, technical competence, interpersonal relations, follow-up and continuity mechanisms, and the appropriate constellation of services). The literature is reviewed regarding evidence that improvements in these various dimensions of care result in gains at the individual level; an even scarcer body of literature is reviewed for evidence of gains at the level of program efficiency and impact. A concluding section discusses how to make practical use of the framework and distinguished three vantage points from which to view quality: the structure of the program, the service-giving process itself, and the outcome of care, particularly with respect to individual knowledge, behavior, and satisfaction with services. | Surveillance |

| To help reproductive health care managers understand the rapidly growing field of knowledge management (KM), this brief first introduces key concepts and then considers how KM tools and approaches can help reproductive health organizations
meet three common challenges: 1. Sharing knowledge within and between organizations and programs; 2. Learning from experience; and 3. Coping with too much or too little information. | HIS |
