This tool aims to harmonize the approaches taken to review, assess and validate treatment data as well as the system generating the data so the results can be used nationally and for specific partners. Data quality has been a focus of global HIV monitoring and reporting efforts. Specifically, all countries supported by the United States President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) or the Global Fund are expected to have a data quality strategy in place. This document addresses these requirements, providing guidance to be adapted by countries to conduct DQA in a two-stage phased approach (see Section 3 on implementation for further details) and data validation activities at the site level.
