Implementation Arrangements. Outcome III: Environment for effective AIDS Response is Enabled Strategic Outcome III supports both Strategic Outcomes I and II. Strategic Output 3.1 Enhanced use of strategic information to monitor HIV response coverage, quality and impact. Key Strategy 3.1.1: Monitoring & Evaluation system strengthened for improved programme implementation Key Implementation Strategies The PAS III Monitoring and Evaluation Framework was developed through consolidation of the Provincial AIDS Strategies M&E Frameworks and consensus among stakeholders on targets to be set in the Monitoring Framework. PAS III recommends enhanced use of strategic evidence to monitor service coverage, quality and impact. Many challenges exist in the current M&E system including incomplete data reports, lack of coherence among different MIS, lack of standardization of indicators across service providers, lack of age and sex disaggregated data, lack of systematic way to collate and validate data at the provincial level and absence of recent studies for key populations (except the IBBS 2011 and UNODC prison study of 2012). As a result, PAS III M&E Framework relies on various sources of data for baselines, target setting, monitoring and evaluation, while laying out concrete plans to strengthen a coherent MIS system. Effective implementation of the Pakistan AIDS Strategy depends on functional M&E Units at Federal and Provincial AIDS Control Programme levels staffed with an M&E Manager, Epidemiologist, M&E Officer and data entry operator. Similar units in private sector service providers will contribute towards a centralized MIS system collating and producing information at provincial and national levels. Output monitoring relevant to both programme monitoring and national level reporting will be done on quarterly basis and progress reports generated on quarterly and annual basis. Global reporting to UNAIDS is done on an annual basis through the Global AIDS Response Progress Report (GARPR). Most GARPR indicators are included in the PAS III Monitoring Framework, however, those we do not have information for will be reported on when and if information becomes available. Further, Integrated Biological and Behavioural Surveillance (IBBS) will be conducted every two to three years to monitor the trend and emerging threats. Periodic research (according to agenda), conducted at provincial level will also help in measuring outcomes and impact.
