12 components monitoring & evaluation system assessment

These guidelines from UNAIDS are aimed at supporting the preparation and implementation of an assessment of the national HIV monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. 

Excerpt

The guidelines "also include key steps to take after an assessment to facilitate implementation of M&E system-strengthening activities. The Guidelines are built around the 12 main components of the HIV M&E system, which define the Organizing Framework for a Functional National HIV Monitoring and Evaluation System (UNAIDS, 2008). Consequently, the Guidelines also focus on using the 12 Components Monitoring and Evaluation System Strengthening Tool (Geneva: UNAIDS, 2009a) to ensure a comprehensive and successful assessment" (UNAIDS 2009)
