=======================

International Training Programme on Surveillance, Monitoring and Evaluation

of HIV/AIDS Programmes November 11-16, 2002.

RATIONALE: As HIV continues to spread around the world, it has become

increasingly clear that the epidemic follows different course and affects

different geographical areas of societies in different ways. This has

complicated the task of monitoring its course, intervening to prevent its

further spread and planning to minimise its impact. The diversity of HIV spread

has further increased the relevance of a through understanding of the nature of

each country's epidemic.

Such an understanding can only be achieved with the mapping of people most at

risk in different geographical areas and with more information about behaviours

which have put them at risk. Behavioural data also help focus sero-surveillance

resources for maximum information about the HIV epidemic, trends in the

prevalence of mature epidemics, and assessment of the impact of the programmed

interventions.

OBJECTIVES: The broad objective of the programme is to strengthen the technical

capabilities of participants in surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of

HIV/AIDS programmes. More specifically, it will focus on :

1. Trends in HIV over time- causes and consequences
