This publication provides managers with guidance on how to create basic HIV prevention cascades as a starting point to enhance their ability to monitor and improve their programming and to facilitate comparisons of programme effectiveness across sites.
This publication provides guidance for developing HIV prevention cascades using a basic approach, but allowing for flexibility and country/area-specific adaptations, based on differences in service delivery and data collection. It is intended to assist national and subnational HIV prevention programme managers—from government entities and nongovernmental organizations/community-based organizations (NGOs/CBOs)—involved in the implementation, administration, monitoring and evaluation of HIV prevention programmes. Prevention cascades can be part of an overall strategic information plan to monitor progress in addressing the HIV epidemic nationally and globally and to strengthen programmes.
