MEASURE Evaluation is a global health project funded by USAID to strengthen health information systems in over 25 countries. The project works to improve collection, analysis and use of health data to support decision making. Sharon Weir presented on lessons learned from monitoring and evaluating programs for key populations affected by HIV. She discussed how surveillance can provide more immediate information for programs if distinguished from other monitoring and evaluation activities. The presentation also covered adaptations made to the PLACE method over time to better align with prevention goals and strategically target local HIV epidemics.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

7. Responsible and timely M&E for action
Shakespeare
The Duke pretends to leave Vienna but disguises himself as a
friar and remains to observe what happens. Claiming to act
against corruption, his deputy Angelo sentences a man to death
for getting his girlfriend pregnant. The man’s sister comes to
plead for mercy for her brother. Angelo agrees to pardon her
brother if she will sleep with him. (Hypocrite!) Eventually the
Duke sheds his disguise, sentences Angelo, frees the brother,
and marries the sister.

Lesson Learned:
Distinctions between
surveillance, monitoring,
evaluation and taking
action are fading.
Surveillance should be
more immediately useful to
programs. Program data

10. The Mapping Readiness
Assessment Tool
The MRA is a structured guide for
obtaining qualitative input from
stakeholders including key populations
(KPs), healthcare providers, public
officials and law enforcement.
Topics addressed include understanding
the socio-legal environment for KPs,
identifying available services and barriers
to healthcare for KPs, and exploring the
risks of collecting data on KPs.
1. To protect the rights and well-
being of key population
individuals and groups.
2. To adapt the study protocol to the
country context.
3. To ensure data use.

11. IAS ABSTRACT 2016: Minimizing Unintended Risks of HIV-Related Programmatic Mapping
Among Key Populations: Introducing the Mapping Readiness Assessment (MRA)

Background: Collecting information from key populations, may pose risks even if the purpose is to improve quality
and coverage of health services. Unintended risks can occur through confidentiality breaches, data misuse, or
drawing unwanted attention to hidden populations. The tool engages communities in a comprehensive assessment
of the risks of mapping.
Lessons Learned in South Africa, Haiti, Malawi and Angola: The MRA revealed differential access to services and
exposure to discrimination across KP sub-groups, particularly by socioeconomic class and locale. MRA
implementers learned alternative ways of reaching KPs, such as through social media, in countries where punitive
laws and discrimination limit their public visibility. We documented concerns that targeting KPs for HIV testing
could lead to further stigmatization or violence, by reinforcing the association between sex work and HIV, or
through perceptions that PM implementers are advocating for same-sex marriage or "recruiting" MSM. Action
steps resulting from the MRA included decisions to provide testing to all venue patrons and to alert local leaders
and authorities to PM prior to fieldwork.
Conclusions: MRAs can help governments, program implementers, and civil society engage KPs, protect rights, and
strengthen partnerships to ensure that data collected is ultimately used to improve KP services.

PLACE story is still a good one.
23. Problem addressed by PLACE has not changed:
Preventing HIV transmission at the local level
2005: “The PLACE method addresses the need for
rapidly available information to strategically target
and monitor local AIDS prevention.”
2016: The PLACE method addresses the need for
rapidly available information to strategically target
and monitor local HIV/AIDS prevention.
.
24. PLACE rationale—Bikini* version
The HIV pandemic is worldwide but transmission occurs in local
epidemics. Prevention should focus in geographic areas where HIV
incidence is highest.
Interrupting HIV transmission requires focusing on people with high
rates of new sexual or needle sharing contacts. Effective prevention
must be tailored to the local epidemic.
The PLACE method identifies venues and events where local
outreach could reach transmission networks and assesses program
coverage among those who need it most.
Note—Bikini version covers the essentials.
25. Causal Model
Underlying Proximate Biological

Determinants Transmission

26. What IS new since 2005?
• New and more biomarkers
• New spatial mapping tools and mapping readiness
• New analysis tools
• New indicators including cascade indicators and coverage
indicators for combination prevention
• Adapted to align to 90/90/90 goals
• Adapted to oversample for key populations
• Adapted to obtain size estimates for key populations
• Adapted to extrapolate estimates to areas in the country
not included
• More experience in data use
