Table 2 Summary of the main barriers and facilitators in the process of integrating CBVCT M&E indicators into the national surveillance and M&E systems identified by pilot countries
Main barriers | Main facilitators |
|---|---|
Lack of communication paths Financial and technical capacity of NGOs Anonymity vs. UCI (tracing clients in follow-up) Different UCI and information systems between CBVCT services and the public health systems IT deficits (databases, data collection tools,...) Lack of legal framework for lay providers and data sharing Legal/structural issues (access to healthcare especially for key populations) | Willingness on part of NGOs Suggested indicators already widely used in other settings, so actionable Data already exists in some cases and only processes of data transfer need to be improved Funding and international interest ensured time was freed up to dedicate to these activities Access to free data collection tools Existing relationships between CBVCT and public health (linkage to care) Funding and international interest ensured time was freed up to dedicate to these activities |
