Global HIV M&E Information Portal Anniversary

[HIV Monitoring and Evaluation Team Members]

Dear Members,

The Global HIV M&E Information Web portal is celebrating its 1-year
anniversary as a collaborative tool for monitoring and evaluation
professionals around the world. Although the Web portal is themed for
HIV/AIDS, we encourage M&E professionals in other fields of interest
to participate as well. In the first year, more than 900 M&E
professionals have joined this community.

Our goals are to provide links to resources, publications, M&E-related
news, jobs, trainings, M&E communities, digital libraries, and
anything else that would benefit an HIV M&E professional. We continue
to embrace this centralized approach to locating the many resources
available across the Internet. The search engine we provide allows you
to search sites with M&E-related resources without having to sift
through irrelevant sites. You can also search for M&E professionals
around the world, who speak your language, and may share your
interests. This Web portal is a mechanism for you to promote:

1. Job postings for openings in your organizations
2. Publications that you have produced
3. Trainings that you are conducting
4. Requests for collaboration
5. Conferences you are conducting / attending
6. Resource Web sites you use or own
7. Other information that would be beneficial to other M&E
professionals

In addition to the online resources we identify, the Global HIV M&E
Information portal provides a range of collaborative tools including
group calendars, document libraries, collaborative workspaces, task
management, photo management, discussion boards, chats, charting
tools, and much more. Our administrative team is available to provide
assistance if you have any questions about these features. The success
of the portal depends on the continued input from the M&E professional
community. We invite you to participate and to provide suggestions for
improvement, requests for content, and any feedback that you want to
share. If you are not a member and would like to be a member, you can
