Abstract
The Global HIV/AIDS Monitoring and
Evaluation Support Team (GAMET) was formed in July 2002 as a
unit of the Bank's Global HIV/AIDS Program in the HDN
Vice Presidency. Its aim is to work with countries globally
to strengthen and develop their capacity to monitor and
evaluate the results of national programs and policy on
HIV/AIDS. GAMET was created as a partnership between UNAIDS,
other UN agencies, the Bank, the Global Fund for AIDS,
Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM), and several technical
agencies including the Global Program on HIV/AIDS, and the
MEASURE/Evaluation project. It is funded by the UNAIDS trust
fund for GAMET operations and by the Bank. The GAMET Country
Support Team (CST) consists of 17 international Monitoring
and Evaluation specialists who work in collaboration with
the national M&E teams. The broad development objectives
of GAMET are to utilize the principles and practice of
M&E to build country capacity and mitigate the problems
associated with HIV/AIDS. This includes three central
objectives; i) innovation and development of strategies that
incorporate M&E into the framework of the MAP projects
ii) country assistance in their initiation of a national
framework for M&E and the development of success
indicators, and iii) the creation of community-level
activities that are able to help local managers accurately
assess program interventions.
