Effective programme management will be carried
out through a decentralization process right
upto the district level and strengthening of
computerized Project Financial Management
System (CPFMS).
AUGMENTING CAPACITY AT DISTRICT, STATE AND
NATIONAL LEVEL
Skilled and competent human resources at all
levels of programme implementation are essential
for the success of the programme. The aim of
NACP-III is to undertake strengthening and
skills development of health care providers,
namely doctors and nurses, counsellors and lab
technicians, public health workers, civil
society organisations and functionaries of other
departments at the national, state and district
levels to better carry out the task of
instituting good quality, greatly scaled up
interventions. At the same time, best practices
from private sector will be activated to achieve
public health goals.
Streamlining of public health delivery system,
function and accountability will synergise with
systems to manage the complex relationship
between different levels of the national
response and with non government and private
sector partners. Along with an emphasis on
training, resource persons will continue to
provide technical assistance and mentoring.
Institutions that need support, including SACS,
will be attached to those with proven capacity.
Appraisal of training will be conducted annually
and training methodologies will be suitably
updated.
Augmenting capacity will involve:
-
collaborating with partners on developing
standard operating procedures and operational
guidelines in respect of crucial HIV services;
-
adopting standard, performance based
contractual arrangements linked to delivery of
HIV-related services, as well as the
establishment of internal and external quality
control
systems;
-
providing high quality, operational training
in areas such as support to establishment of
CBOs, ART training, etc. within and outside
the government sector;
-
establishing necessary technical support at
all levels through Technical Support Groups (TSGs)
at the national level or Technical Support
Units (TSUs) at the level of the SACS;
-
engaging the services of procurement agents
for carrying out procurement of
pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and other
goods and works required under the project
