Guest guest Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Dear Forum, I am happy to read the posting of Bobby . Excellent work Bobby ! After my posting on website of NACO and Maharashtra State AIDS Control Society, I would urge NACO to make available the material produced by them on the website. The recent links on the homepage like advertisement for inviting applications from NGOs/CBOs for empanelment and Invites applications for the contractual post of Regional Coordinators for Care, Support & Treatment under National AIDS Control Programme–III are not functioning at all. It it posted just for sake of knowledge. The last newsletter posted in acrobat format is April - May 2005. Are newsletters not published? The website is static like NACO which is not showing any progressive signs. If UNAIDS, UN agencies and government websites are updated, why not NACO? Various NGOs & UN agencies even post their financial and annual reports. Why not NACO? The officials should realize that public have the right to know. Use the website to give us information. I appreciate some SACs websites like the one of Bihar where even the circulars are NACO are posted. West Bengal website gives the Annual Work Plan and State Programme Implementation Plan. NACO should make available all the State Programme Implementation Plan. Sometimes some initiatives are given so much publicity in newsletter and national media before they are implemented. I remember the initiative of Red Ribbon Express. Was it implemented? I understand it was supposed to converge in Nagpur. The publicity was made in two newsletters of NACO. NACO had launched another website for CMIS under NACP II. Was it used? Is it functioning now? Will it be used for NACP II. Has NACO given a thought to it? NACO should give budget provision for each SACs to maintain and update their website. If this happens, NGOs, CBOs and institutions can contribute in a very effective way. Regards, F.
