Facilitation of the UN M&E Working Group (TRT for M&E)

As part of the WHO/UNAIDS “Three ones principles”, in September 2004, WHO in collaboration with CDC facilitated the establishment of a UN M&E working group (TRT for M&E) whose mandate it is to strengthen the Indian M&E system, assuring a more complete picture of all activities related to HIV/AIDS in India, including bilateral donors, NGOs, foundations and other partners. The M&E working group developed a concept paper on “revisions to the NACO CMIS” which formed the basis for discussion for the M&E working group of the NACP-III process.
