Strategic Information used for National Strategic Plans
Situational assessment– Policy index– Resources– Prevention– Care– Treatment– Knowledge and behaviour– Impact
![Page 3: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Questions for national responses
• How can we ensure that lessons learned are not lessons lost?
• How do we begin to have greater access, synergy and cohesion vis-à-vis strategic information?
• How to coordinate a variety of information sources?
• How do our information systems work together?
![Page 4: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is Strategic Information?
• lessons learned – in countries of Southern America, globally
• Knowledge of “what works” among and between partners
• Indicators – input, impact, outcome, etc
• Inventories – partners, research, activities
• Resource tracking• Policies and legislation
![Page 5: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What strategic information is needed?
• Does it have relevance to NSP and the national response
• Can the data be collected according to agreed guidelines?
• Are there resources available to collect the data
• Will the data used? Will it be made available to all partners?
Collect what will be used for your program management.

CRIS – the system
Questions to answer!
• How will it work in your country?• Where will it be, where will it live?• Who will use it?• What indicators and other information
will be contained within the system?
![Page 9: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Issues we considered when developing CRIS
• How to improve flow of national and sub-national data for national AIDS responses?
• How to prepare NAC information systems (if they exist) for the Internet?
• What analytical tools are required by NACs / NAPs?
• How do we leverage existing applications and their analytical tools for NACs / NAPs?

CRISAn information system for National AIDS
Councils – allows systematic (1) collection, (2) storage, (3) analysis, (4)
retrieval and (5) dissemination of information on a country’s response to
HIV/AIDS
![Page 11: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What does CRIS look like?
• Indicator database (Version 1.4 available)
• Project / resource tracking database (end 2003)
• Research Inventory database (end 2003)

• Improved ability to report to funding sources e.g. GFATM, WB and UN
![Page 14: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Other benefits…..
• Supports global indicator standardization process, transmission format and prioritisation
• Supports next generation indicator development process
• Manages large volumes of information
• Streamlines information flows and greater local access
![Page 15: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Where will the principle CRIS live?
• Negotiated with each country
• National AIDS Commission / Council recommended
• Consider technical and human resource capacity available and/or planned

Current issues
• CRIS complements & leverages other information systems – how to communicate this message well
• CRIS can be used to leverage the establishment / improvement of a basic M&E system – how do we do this?
• Need for “model” countries where CRIS / M&E is functioning – which countries and in what time frame?
• Developing capacity among (cosponsors’) country based staff for M&E and CRIS – joint action required
![Page 30: Strategic Information and Introduction to the Country Response Information System By Geoff Manthey, Chief CRIS Unit, UNAIDS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649c735503460f94925384/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
