Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)
 | The growing and complex problems and responses need a monitoring and evaluation system to gain data and facts for a better planning, coordination and harmonization of all responses in all administrative level. Government and community also need information on the progress being made by the country, including the target meet on the Declaration of Commitment from the United Nations. The "Three Ones Principle" from UNAIDS giving direction that a country is encouraged to have one coordinating body for HIV/AIDS, one national strategy to be referred by all sectors working on HIV and AIDS and one national monitoring and evaluation applied throughout the country. The National Monitoring and Evaluation System on HIV/AIDS and its guideline that have been developed for the country is expected that the National AIDS Commission has better M&E system in 2006.

| Simplified HIV case definitions are provided based on laboratory criteria combined with clinical or immunological criteria. The clinical staging of HIV-related disease for adults and children and the simplified immunological classification are harmonized to a universal four-stage system that includes simplified standardized descriptors of clinical staging events. The revised HIV case definitions and the clinical and immunological classification system proposed are intended for conducting public health surveillance and for use in clinical care services. WHO recommends that national programmes review and standardize their HIV and AIDS case reporting and case definitions in the light of these revisions. Download this publication |
| These indicator definitions draw on standard and recognized definitions while adapting them to the context of the HIV epidemic(s) in Nepal. The primary aim is to ensure that the epidemic and the response are tracked at national level by all partners. The selection of standardized and tested indicators will also allow regional comparisons within the country and with others in the region. Ultimately the selection of a core set of standardized UNGASS indicators will allow Nepal to report more easily on the global commitments towards reducing the spread of HIV.

| HIV Sentinel Surveillance has been established to monitor the trends of HIV infection in the country. HSS data is also being used for estimating the number of People Living with HIV/ AIDS (PLHIV) in the country. The first HIV estimation in India was done in 1994 based on data from 52 sites. Since then, the process of estimation of HIV infected persons in the country has evolved to a very great extent. An expert committee on HIV estimation was formulated in 1998 that evolved a methodology for HIV estimation using several assumptions. Download this publication |

“In June of 1981 we saw a young gay man with the most devastating immune deficiency we had ever seen. We said, ’We don’t know what this is, but we hope we don’t ever see another case like it again’.” (WHO, 1994) The words of Dr. Samuel Broder, then of the National Cancer Institute in the United States of America, remind us how much the world has changed in 25 years, since physicians saw the earliest cases of AIDS in hospitals in the United States, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and on the shores of Lake Victoria, East Africa.

| AIDS is a devastating disease caused by HIV, which is transmitted by either sexual or other contacts in which body fluids are exchanged. The first case was reported among homosexual men in the USA in 1981. It has reached pandemic proportions, as no country in the world is free from HIV/AIDS. It ranks as one of the most destructive microbial scourges in human history and poses a formidable challenge to the biomedical research and public health communities of the world.
