    Abstract
    This research investigates end-user involvement in the development of a simple HIV Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) data collection instrument and associated spreadsheet. The research involved end-user participation in developing a paper-based VCT data collection instrument, followed by the development of, and training in an associated electronic spreadsheet. The collection of data together with the electronic storage and retrieval of the data constitute, however simple, an information system. The findings show that involving the end-user in the development and use of something fundamental to their mission, not only gives them something tangible that can assist in developing strategies for identifying groups for VCT sessions, manage resources and data, and generate reports, but can also encourage the collection of useful and complete data, invoke a sense of achievement and positive prospects for the future. The study involved working with end users from six rural Ugandan NGOs who deliver VCT in rural communities in the Mukono district.
