GAM Report: The Global AIDS Monitoring (GAM) report is an international monitoring and accountability tool that compiles and analyzes data on the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It provides a comprehensive overview of countries’ progress, outlining achievements, challenges, and gaps in prevention, testing, treatment, and support services. Through standardized indicators and globally comparable data, the GAM report informs policy-making, strengthens program implementation, and supports global advocacy efforts to end the AIDS epidemic.

REAct (Rights – Evidence – Action) is a system for monitoring and responding to human rights violations at the community level.

In Ukraine, the system has been implemented since 2019 by the ICF “Public Health Alliance” with the financial support of the Global Fund. The REAct platform enables public organizations to respond to existing violations in a timely manner and to prevent similar cases in the future. The project’s target groups are representatives of key communities vulnerable to HIV/TB, namely: people who inject drugs (PWID); patients of the ОАТ program; people living with HIV (PLHIV); men who have sex with men (MSM); trans* people; sex workers (SW); people with TB; prisoners (and ex-prisoners); sexual partners of clients of risk groups (PLHIV, PWID).

REAct is a system capable of documenting a wide range of issues related to human rights, barriers to access to HIV-preventive or medical services.

Such information is strategically important for implementing and ensuring an adequate response to rights violations at the individual level (primarily, referrals to receive legal, medical, psychosocial and other services) and for quality programmatic response and improved policy and advocacy at the regional and national levels.

The Information System for Monitoring and Management of Socially Significant Diseases is an electronic register designed to streamline prevention, care, and support services for people living with or at risk of HIV infection. Developed and piloted by Positive Initiative in 2018, it was subsequently transferred to the National Program for the Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS/STIs in Moldova. Today, it is actively utilized by all HIV-service NGOs, the penitentiary system, and major Opioid Substitution Therapy (OST) sites, ensuring comprehensive and integrated data management within the country’s health infrastructure.

This digital platform provides an information system for the registration, storage, management, monitoring, and evaluation of data on services and goods delivered to beneficiaries as part of prevention, treatment, care, and support interventions. The primary goal is to offer a real-time monitoring tool that delivers reliable data for decision-making, evaluation, and improved service delivery.

Key Features

Real-Time Data Tracking: Collects and stores information on beneficiaries, services, and goods in a single database.

Enhanced Management Capabilities: Managers at all levels can access key indicators and beneficiary data to make informed decisions, improve accountability, and increase the efficiency of service provision.

Improved Transparency and Efficiency: By reducing bureaucratic processes and offering instant access to data, service providers and stakeholders can better allocate resources and respond effectively to health challenges.

How It Works

Each beneficiary receives a magnetic card linked to a unique user code. When a service is provided or a product is issued, the card is scanned via a mobile or stationary device equipped with a dedicated application. The corresponding data is immediately recorded in the database, enabling managers and stakeholders to access and analyze up-to-date information and generate reports as needed.

Key Technical Solutions

API (Application Programming Interface): Facilitates seamless integration, defining requests, data formats, and extensions, ensuring interoperability with other platforms.

Business Intelligence (BI) Tools: Collect and analyze internal and external data sources, generating dashboards and reports that support evidence-based decision-making and strategic planning.

Database: Organizes and maintains all beneficiary, service, and goods information, supporting secure data management practices.

Web Portal: Serves as a user-friendly platform for accessing integrated data, personalization options, search capabilities, and dialogue-based on-line services.

Web Server: Ensures reliable and secure hosting for the database, applications, and web portal.

Data Management and Access

Service providers enter depersonalized or personalized beneficiary data, depending on the chosen strategy. Data is hosted on a secure server, and analytics can be displayed on both open-access and restricted dashboards, ensuring appropriate data confidentiality and user-level permissions.

Good governance is essential for development. It helps countries increase economic growth, build human capital, and strengthen social cohesion. The Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) describe broad patterns in perceptions of the quality of governance across countries and over time.

The WGI are based on existing data sources produced by more than 30 think tanks, international organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and private firms around the world. The data sources (1) produce original primary data using their own well-defined methodologies, (2) report respondents’ perceptions of relevant dimensions of governance, (3) cover multiple countries, and (4) are regularly updated.  The data reflect the diverse views of tens of thousands of survey respondents and experts worldwide.

The WGI combine these into aggregate indicators of six dimensions of governance for over 200 economies over the period 1996–2023:

- Voice and Accountability

- Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism

- Government Effectiveness

- Regulatory Quality

- Rule of Law

- Control of Corruption
