Using a variety of school and community activities, the activity provides children and adolescents with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions about their sexuality, their reproductive health, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and their lifestyle in a world affected by HIV. The overall goal of the Activity is to reduce the rate of new HIV infections among vulnerable youth within DBE designated schools and communities.

The SID will lead efforts to strengthen monitoring and evaluation, and performance reporting within all the geographic areas of Activity, which may include overseeing support to provinces and districts to monitor, document and analyse the performance of their HIV services and activities. The SID will analyse relevant data under the MER and custom indicators and provide analysis on performance trends. The SID will liaise with relevant technical advisers and counterparts responsible for district and provincial level strategic information and monitoring and evaluation and support coordination with national education management information systems. In addition, the SID will generate data for continuous program quality improvement and adaptive management, process evaluation, operations research and learning; contribute original knowledge to the field of CSE; and generate quality data for communication and advocacy materials.
