ICAP is enhancing data quality and timeliness to accelerate progress toward HIV epidemic control.

This brief highlights ICAP’s approach to data quality and timeliness as key elements of a broader framework that supports data producers and users at all health-system levels to continuously improve HIV services and programs. Technical assistance and capacity building approaches are carefully tailored to country needs and priorities in order to promote sustainable improvements in patient- and clinic-level data, aggregate program data, and episodic population-level data collected through surveys. Innovative software and data systems that allow for electronic capture of primary data are deployed whenever possible to improve both the quality and timeliness of data.
