| Abstract:
Many governments and donors agree that to support an effective, comprehensive response to the HIV epidemic countries need one national HIV strategic plan, one HIV coordinating authority and one national HIV monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, (referred to as 'the three ones') (UNAIDS, 2004). However, few countries now have functional national HIV M&E systems. One key limiting factor is skilled human resources (HR) to carry out HIV M&E. But some countries have been successful in creating functional M&E systems by planning for, developing and supporting the human resources needed to maintain the systems. This new compendium of country case studies describes current promising HR development strategies along 6 dimensions, education, leadership, partnerships, HR management, finance and policy, providing models for donors and countries to overcome all dimensions of this M&E HR gap. Examples come from Africa, Asia and Latin America, from countries with varying HIV-prevalence rates and available economic resources.
