Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative

The MAI Fund addresses the disproportionately high HIV/AIDS incidence rate in minority and ethnic communities through strategies that specifically target the highest-risk and hardest-to-serve populations, which for the past two decades have eluded more traditional HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and education efforts.

Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative (MAI) Fund has not set clear long-term performance metrics for all of its long-term goals. For instance, it has yet to develop a way to address continuity, accountability, and measurable outcome activities resulting from MAI Fund investment.
  • The program has clear annual goals with associated metrics to gauge its annual progress in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment. It also has preliminary data on one annual measure showing a positive trend.
  • The program lacks regular, independent evaluations of sufficient quality. Evaluations conducted to date focus on process indicators rather than overall program performance.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Establishing baselines and ambitious targets for long-term performance goals.
  • Developing an evaluation planning process in order to conduct an independent evaluation of comprehensive scope. This proposed evaluation will cover two years of MAI Fund activities.
  • Developing a formal process to document and demonstrate how performance information is used to manage and make funding allocation decisions for new activities as well as for continuing programs.
