This module covers the elements of strategic information necessary for developing a clear understanding of the exact nature of the AIDS epidemic and the response to the epidemic in a particular place: the surveillance systems that provide information on HIV prevalence and changing patterns of risk and vulnerability; the monitoring and evaluation framework that provides information about the process, outcome and impact of the interventions; and the strategic research agenda that can fill in gaps in information and provide guidance for reviewing interventions and strategies.
