About the Resource Library
The HIV Monitoring and Evaluation Resource Library is a library for HIV monitoring and evaluation systems.
It contains a set of electronic resources (HowTo Guides, tools, guidelines, country examples and other documents) for building and maintaining national, sub-national and sectoral HIV M&E systems. These electronic resources include national HIV databases; job descriptions of national HIV M&E unit staff; terms of reference for consultants to develop different aspects of M&E systems; user manuals; M&E operational plans; model budgets and costings; survey protocols; standard PowerPoint presentations explaining different aspects of M&E systems; and other related documents.
For more information about the Resource Library, go to the introduction .
Throughout the Resource Library, professionals, practitioners and stakeholders involved in HIV and in HIV M&E have been grouped and referred to according to a standard nomenclature (classification principles). Go here to read how the classification works.

About GAMET
The World Bank is a committed partner in the fight against HIV and AIDS. The Global HIV/AIDS Program (HIV AIDS.pdf">GHAP) was set up in 2002 to strengthen institutional capacity across World Bank operations to respond to the epidemic, provide specialized technical expertise and knowledge, and support cross-cutting and multi-sectoral engagement. GHAP also hosts the Global HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Team (GAMET).
The HIV Monitoring and Evaluation Resource Library was developed and compiled by GAMET, with inputs from UNAIDS and MEASURE Evaluation.
The central mission of GAMET is to improve the quality of HIV M&E and build national capacity to support the achievement of the third “One” (one country-led and country-owned monitoring and evaluation system). GAMET works closely with UNAIDS and other global partners to achieve this objective.
GAMET helps strengthen national M&E capacity through deployment of an international team of M&E specialists, based primarily in developing countries. They provide rapid, intensive and flexible hands-on expert M&E support to more than 35 countries. As a result, about half of these countries now have M&E frameworks and operational M&E plans, although less than one third as yet have M&E systems that regularly report on key performance indicators.
Another important role of GAMET is to support the M&E activities of World Bank projects, enhancing country capacity to implement, monitor and measure progress of the national AIDS response, and use the information for program improvement and learning. GAMET has five areas of work:
(a) support for the development of national M&E frameworks, operational plans and budgets;
(b) improvement of data use for programming and decision-making;
(c) improvement of evidence-based results information;
(d) renewal and sustainment of national and international partnerships; and
(e) generation and dissemination of knowledge.
GAMET and its partners strive to achieve concrete and practical results on the ground. For example, by helping develop:
-
National leadership and country ‘champions’, empowered by the availability of relevant and up-to-date M&E outputs and information.
-
M&E capacity, to strengthen national data generation and management, and the utilization of strategic information for decision-making and learning.
-
Partnerships among donors, to support governments by (a) decreasing the burden of reporting, (b) leveraging resources and rationalizing technical support, and (c) pooling financial and other resources, where possible, in support of national priorities.
-
Partnerships among key national agencies and civil society actors, and between these and the national AIDS authority around M&E, in recognition of the importance of scaling up and decentralizing the national HIV/AIDS response in many countries.
-
Advocacy about the critical importance of good quality, comprehensive information. This continues to be a pivotal role for GAMET, UNAIDS and other partners as they support an enabling environment in which AIDS information is valued as an indispensable tool for policymakers to track progress towards national HIV&AIDS response goals.
