Data Demand and Information Use
Sample expected (future) Information Use Map
For an M&E system for HIV/AIDS community-based data
MEASURE Evaluation, March 2005.
This Information Use Map describes a future scenario that would improve data use. This map was
developed with stakeholder consensus during a workshop in which desired improvements in the
M&E system were prioritized. In this scenario, information transfer is now two-way, with feedback
and quarterly reports being broadly shared across stakeholder groups. The map also identifies ways to
use data to monitor and evaluate programs, improve programs, lobby for additional funding, influence
legislation, or share information with the media and the public.
