Enhancements to the Indicator Registry

Launched on 13 March 2009, the UNAIDS Indicator Registry (later referred as “the Registry”) is a central repository of up-to-date information on indicators used to track the HIV and AIDS epidemic and the response. The Registry gives professionals in HIV and AIDS monitoring and evaluation a comprehensive source for complete definitions of key indicators. In addition, the Registry highlights harmonized HIV related indicators, which have been endorsed for use at the national level by a wide range of multilateral agencies and international organizations. The balance between the needs of users in the countries and the commitment to high-quality indicators is a hallmark of the Registry and will ensure its long-term value for monitoring and evaluation.

Many areas for potential enhancements of the Registry have been observed since its launch. To facilitate the next stage of the Indicator Registry development planned throughout 2010-2011, UNAIDS/EVA Division carried out a comprehensive independent assessment of the usability of the Registry and made recommendations on the future direction of the Registry development. The assessment findings, published in January 2010, focused on the technical functionality of the registry, not on the content.

The purpose of this RFP is to secure a Service Provider to carry out the recommended changes based on the assessment findings, to enhance the Registry to meet the needs of the increasing number of users, and to continue the technical maintenance and support of the system.
