  1. Monitoring and Evaluation Working Group THE INTER-AGENCY TASK TEAM ON CHILDREN AND HIV & AIDS Meeting of Steering Committee September 9-11, 2009 Washington, DC

  2. IATT M&E CABA WG: Goal • To improve data related to children affected by HIV and AIDS, including improving the: • Availability of data • Quality of data, and • Use of data • At all levels • Global, • Regional, and • National & Sub-national • Through efforts to make M&E guidelines, tools, systems, and reporting of results which are • Collaborative, • Coordinated, and • Harmonized.

  3. Membership • Facilitators: • Beverly Nyberg (PEPFAR/OGAC-Dept of State), • Ronnie Lovich (SCF-US), • Priscilla Akwara (UNICEF/NYHQ) • Member organizations: • UNICEF (NYHQ, ESARO, Zimbabwe CO) • UNAIDS • PEPFAR (OGAC,USAID) • Save the Children • MEASURE DHS • World Vision • Plan USA • Population Council

  4. 2008-09 work plan: four major activities • Review of internationally used OVC indicators. • Development of progress report on children affected by HIV/AIDS • Estimating numbers of “vulnerable” children • Sharing & dissemination of OVC M&E documents

  5. Progress & achievements

  6. Activity 1: Review of internationally used OVC indicators. 1. Review of DHS & MICS • Both DHS & MICS found the chronic illness and OVC module difficult to implement • WG held 3 conference calls to review and discuss possibilities of improving the OVC questions in DHS/MICS • Consensus to exclude most OVC specific questions until better modifications are developed. Request to expand ages re: education and birth registration 2. Review of UNGASS OVC indicators – Yet to be completed.

  7. Activity 2: Development of progress report on children affected by HIV/AIDS • Consultants completed work during Q2, 2009 • Decision made to update data with 2009 SOWC • Will be published in Q4, 2009

  8. Activity 3: Estimating numbers of “vulnerable” children • Two day meeting (July 2008) to examine possible models for estimating all vulnerable children and vulnerable children due to HIV/AIDS. • Meeting and calls identified multiple ways of defining/understanding “vulnerable” children. • Consensus to develop 2 different models: • Number of children at risk of being vulnerable - based on risk factors (UNICEF). • Number of children currently in need of additional support – based on current status (USG-PEPFAR). • Both models are to be presented at the Oct. meeting where strengths, weaknesses and uses of each model will be discussed.
