The work will be carried out in four phases over the period 2009 to 2012: • development of a generic HIV&AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation framework and capacity building tool for the education sector’s response programme; • testing of the generic framework and capacity building tool in selected Caribbean countries, with revision as appropriate; • training of a cohort of programme managers in the Education sector in the Caribbean in the use of the generic framework and capacity building tool; and • reproduction and dissemination of the final generic framework and capacity building tool.

3. Phase I Development of a generic HIV&AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation framework and capacity building tool for the education sector’s response programme: • June 2009-October, 2010 • led by EDC Inc on behalf of the UNESCO Kingston Cluster Office for the Caribbean • Principal activities include a desk review, stakeholder consultation through questionnaire/ interviews etc.; drafting of both framework and tool and a stakeholder workshop for consensus building etc. • Outputs will include a draft generic M&E framework and a draft capacity building tool

5. Phases III & IV III. Training a cohort of programme managers in the Education sector in the Caribbean in the use of the generic framework and capacity building tool. IV. Reproduction and dissemination of the final generic framework and capacity building tool. • January – April, 2012 (proposed) • Activity: 2 ½ day sub-regional orientation workshop involving three-person country teams to be trained in adapting the tool for use at country level
