THE STATUS: NATIONALSELECTED INDICATORS… • Percentage of adults and children with advanced HIV infection receiving antiretroviraltherapy • ARV combination therapy has been proven to reduce the rate of illness and death among PLHIVs.

THE STATUS: NATIONALSELECTED INDICATORS… • Percentage of annual funding for HIV interventions that is spent on HIV and AIDS M&E CSOs Annual resource tracking form MDAs and LGAs • Through TOMSHA, TACAIDS calculated from resource tracking forms (submitted by 906+ implementers) that for the year 2006-07, 10% of their AIDS spending was on M&E. • The PER shows that 14% of AIDS spending was on cross-cutting issues (M&E is included as part of cross-cutting issues, but is not included as a separate line item in the PER
THE STATUS: NATIONALSELECTED INDICATORS… • Percentage of implementers of HIV and AIDS interventions that have submitted TOMSHA forms on time in the last 12 months • Through TOMSHA routine monitoring system received cumulated data from about 906+ out of 1,372 trained implementers for April to December 2007.

Data Source: TOMSHA (April – Dec, 2007)
Challenges encountered in National HIV Response • There are more data available which cannot give a clear picture of the interventions according to the indicator set protocols • Not in place the Information Asset infrastructures and data governance for the National Response • The principle of three ones, is not effective at district/ community level, due to multiple plan’s and budget being prepared at different times (e.g NMSF,GFATM, and the Government Budget, PEPFAR Planning )
Challenges encountered in National HIV Response … • MTEF capture only 26% of total spending, multiple planning and coordination structures for example TNCM and the annual PEPFAR planning. • Some of Public and Private institutions focal persons are inactive which leads to lack of continuity of activities and understanding of priorities. • Low disbursement of fund to various stakeholders work plan for HIV and AIDS interventions, resulting into either partial implementation or no implementation of work plan.
CONCLUSION • The implementation of NMSF 2003-2007 and development of the NMSF 2008-12 has resulted into achievements of some noticeable outcomes and impact on the HIV National response, as result of fully engagement of various stakeholders • Community response has significantly increased, this has been possible due to the use of multisectoral approach, the formation of multisectoral AIDS Committees which widened the chance of involving many actors across different social sectors in the fight against HIV and AIDS infections, HIV and AIDS impact mitigation and HIV and AIDS care and support for members of the community who have already been infected.
CONCLUSION … • The strong PPP adoption(Public Private Partnership) has made good achievements toward the support on the HIV and AIDS Interventions, Management and Leadership • The operationalization of TOMSHA has made non health data/information be available from different implementers at grass root level, although they had reported only 9 months from April – December 2007, which help the policy and decision makers in making informed decisions easier. • The establishment of Data Management Office to lead and ensure HIV data infrastructure are in place and have the data quality required to produce the right information product and disseminated to all stakeholders and the National Response – Leveraging our HIV Information Assets.
