The Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Support (METS) Program is a 5-year CDC-supported collaboration of Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH), the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and Health Information Systems Program (HISP Uganda).
The program emerged out of the growing recognition of the importance of evidence-based decision making for an AIDS Free Generation in Uganda. Hence the need to strengthen the Government of Uganda’s Capacity for Regionally Centered and District-Implemented HIV and TB Programming through Health Systems Strengthening (HSS), Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E), Strategic Information (SI), Disease Surveillance (DS) and Health Informatics Systems (HIS).
The overall objectives of the METS Program are as follows:
- Support Ministry of Health to plan, implement and maintain the national HIS EA across community, facility and national Health Information Systems
- Support Ministry of Health to implement patient-centered information systems for clinical and laboratory services where patients are uniquely identified for improved care and epidemic intelligence
- Support Ministry of Health to operationalize HIV/TB Case Based Surveillance at national level to achieve sustained control of the HIV epidemic
- Align US Government Monitoring, Evaluation and reporting system with national Monitoring & Evaluation framework to improve national Health Management Information System reporting
- Strengthen technical capacity of the Regional Referral Hospitals to rapidly implement national level policies, coordinate the regional HIV/TB response and effectively utilize high quality HIV/TB data for decentralized epidemic response
- Support Ministry of Health to plan and coordinate Quality Improvement activities at all levels of the health system
