Health metrics catalogue for sustainability planning

As countries work to reach the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, planning and action is urgently needed for sustaining HIV response gains beyond 2030. New guidance from UNAIDS in 2024 encourages all HIV burdened countries to develop HIV Response Sustainability Roadmaps with appropriate indicators to measure progress.

In collaboration with the Gates Foundation, Genesis produced a consolidated catalogue of health system performance indicators from an extensive range of sources. This interactive catalogue aims to provide planners with a curated repository of metrics that are categorised across various dimensions to support the development of monitoring and accountability frameworks for health system improvement, transformation, or sustainability.

Genesis also produced a reference document for HIV planners and stakeholders as a supplementary resource to the health systems metrics catalogue.  This reference provides non-prescriptive direction for selecting suitable indicators to monitor and measure progress towards strengthened and/or transformed public health systems. It recommends a limited set of relevant and high-quality indicators that can be used to track progress towards future desired outcomes.

The recommended indicators are framed within an easy-to-use typology. Stakeholders are encouraged to consider the array of recommended health systems indicators in the document when considering the most appropriate monitoring indicators to suit their country context. For each indicator, a brief rationale is provided to assist with the selection process.

Users who wish to provide constructive feedback on this tool to enable us to improve its utility can contact Steve Cohen.
