Re: Enough is enough: An open letter to Delhi State AIDS Control Soc

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum Members,

Re: /message/7560

We would like to congratulate SAHARA for its right step and a courageous step.

This is not only the situation in Delhi. In Chhattisgarh, NGOs who are

implementing TIs have not been given funds for almost a year now. An evaluation

exercise is being done by a team of doctors from government health systems.

The results of an evaluation of a TI project which does not have funds for

almost 12 months and that too by people who are not directly related with

implementation or planning of TIs would only result in TINGOs being categorized

into various categories and then may be some will get and extension and some

will not.

Its high time that NACO does come up with some guidelines on evaluation of TI

projects. It is important to get the message across that - Evaluation is done

for finding learnings from the project and then redesign it. It is not done for

closing down projects. Closing down a project results in huge monetary loss as

all the efforts made are wasted. It is a crime as taxpayers money is wasted by a

select few, who have all the powers.
