Since 1988, the U.S. Census Bureau has worked with USAIDs Bureau for Global Health to enhance the quantity, quality, and utility of HIV/AIDS-related data. These data are used for policy development, program formulation, and monitoring and evaluation, and form anintegral part of USAIDs work in combating HIV/AIDS. Applying its extensive experience in epidemiological data base projections and population projection modeling, the Census Bureau has contributed to the USAID program with support in monitoring the spread of HIV and in understanding the effect the AIDS pandemic has on development.
