The UN Sustainable Development Goals envision major progress toward bringing the HIV/AIDS epidemic under control and improving reproductive and maternal/child health through rapid scale-up of health services in low and middle-income countries.
The enormity of this task is illustrated by the following charts:

Achieving the 2030 goals will require new resources, as well as much more efficient use of existing resources.

The Routine Efficiency Monitoring System (REMS), developed by FHI 360, is designed to address this challenge.
