MODULE THREE
OVERVIEW OF THE NATIONAL MONITORING AND EVALUATION
FRAMEWORK FOR HIV/AIDS PROGRAMMES
To fulfil its strategic leadership and co-ordination role, TACAIDS has developed a
National Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (NMEF) the application of which will
harmonise all monitoring and evaluation efforts for all sectors involved in the
prevention of HIV transmission and management of AIDS. These include the Local

For maximum advantage, it is recommended that this module be read in close reference
