Overview

War Child is striving for a world where children’s lives are no longer torn apart by war.
We are the only specialist charity for children in conflict, delivering high-impact programmes that are rebuilding lives across Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Central African Republic.

As the global response to HIV strives to improve the continuum of HIV care in low and middle income countries, synthesis of evidence from a diverse and enlarging pool of interventions targeting this cascade is urgently needed. Traditional evidence synthesis through paper-based and peer-reviewed systematic reviews and meta-analyses often emerge months and sometimes years after primary data are published and may also fail to capture very recent data. Furthermore, traditional reviews are also fixed with respect to strategic choices about the framing of the review question as well as technical specifications such as inclusion criteria and weighting – which may change as new data emerge. In short, evidence synthesis must be more nimble and quick to optimize its value. To catalyse the synthesis and use of evidence in the rapidly evolving field of implementation science to address HIV, WHO is seeking to develop an open-access “living database” of implementation interventions and which can yield “living meta-analyses” continuously and in real time on the internet on a variety of interventions and cascade targets.

Project summary:

Over the years, WHO and partners have published various guiding documents which have relevance for the use of strategic information for the health sector response.

The release of WHO’s Consolidated Guidelines on Strategic Information (SI) for the HIV health sector response” in 2015 was a good time to strengthen tools and guidance to better support countries in patient and case reporting and provide tools to support the monitoring of the cascade of HIV health sector services. The Consolidated Strategic Information Guide supports consistent data at each stage of the services cascade linked to impact, and to support the 90, 90, 90 goals for HIV.
