Toolkit for Monitoring and Evaluation of Interventions for Sex Workers

This toolkit focuses on TIs for FSW populations. It draws upon almost two decades of experience from programmes implemented by the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Western Pacific and South-East Asia Regions (WPRO/SEARO). While examples and issues specific to FSWs are highlighted, many of these issues would be common to male sex worker (MSW) interventions, and the approaches can be adapted to meet the needs of MSWs.

This toolkit aims to demonstrate how a small number of recommended indicators can provide critical information to guide interventions. These tools can be used at different levels of management to track the progress of a programme and focus efforts on achieving targets. Special attention is paid to how data can be used by on-site managers to help them make periodic decisions.
