Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

Group exercise: Think about and Discuss

Look at the indicators for the strategic objectives that

are part of organisations work. Do you currently

collect this information?

• If yes how is it reported and to whom?

• If no how could you collect the information and

how could it be reported?

LJS annual expenditure on HIV and AIDS disaggregated by agency and by recurrent, development or external funding sources (P-3, C-2.3, SO-2.3.4)

LJS annual expenditure on HIV and AIDS as a proportion of total annual funding disaggregated by agency (P-3, C-2.3, SO-2.3.4)

Possible indicators for the LJS
