Following the adoption of the NSP (2015-2020), the Government of Malawi through the National AIDS Commission commissioned the revision of the M&E Plan to accompany the revised NSP. The new M&E Plan will primarily guide and enable the generation and availability of strategic information for effective management of the national response; the tracking and assessment of both the HIV epidemic as well as the performance towards the attainment of the ambitious 90-90-90 targets, the intermediate strategic outcomes as well as outputs. The NSP (2015-2020) thus provides the frame of reference for the new M&E Plan.
