National Aids Programmes: A Guide to Indicators for Monitoring and Evaluating National HIV/AIDS Prevention Programmes for Young

This 82-page guide is intended for monitoring and evaluating national policies and programmes for HIV prevention among young people and seeks to complement indicators included in National AIDS programmes. Developed through a collaborative process by UN agencies, the guide refines indicators that have already been defined and proposes new ones that are in relatively early phases of development and use. These indicators are included to help ensure that policies and programmes benefit from the lessons learnt during the past decade.

The intended audience of this guide includes programme managers at the national level, particularly managers of national AIDS programmes, as well as programme managers at subnational levels who seek to align their measurement efforts with national ones. The guide identifies a set of indicators, methods for measuring them, and their strengths and limitations within four chapters.
