Burden of Proof: Documentation of an HIV Prevention Program in Ghana

Author:

Inglis Kathleen

Abstract

Globally, HIV programs face pressure to document their accountability and achievements using “evidence-based” criteria or “monitoring and evaluation” (“M&E”), yet little is known about how M&E occurs on the ground or its social and political effects. This paper explores how NGO actors in Ghana experienced routine documentation of a USAID-funded HIV program. Drawing upon 20 months of ethnographic fieldwork, I illustrate how M&E documentation reproduces hierarchical aid relations by engaging NGO actors to self-govern through unexpected strict adherence to documentation requirements. I explore institutional supervisors' frustration with their deference to documentation to further show how inequality is indirectly reproduced.
