USG has funded FHI 360 to provide technical assistance (TA) to National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) for Strategic Information (SI) since 2009. Core TA areas include: 1) M&E including project evaluation, data triangulation, operations research (OR) and qualitative and economic evaluations; 2) Surveillance including roll-out of Integrated Behavioral and Biological Assessment (IBBA); and 3) Data Use including support on SI Management System (SIMS). DAKSH supports PEPFAR/India strategy Goals 2 (Data for Decision making) and 4 (Capacity Building). In FY12, CDC will also leverage FHI 360 expertise in community-based interventions for enhancing access to HIV services, particularly among women with Gender Challenge funds. The project will be implemented in a district where FHI 360 has already been supporting GOI to integrate HIV with MCH services using existing community based mechanisms.

Project activities target M&E staff at national, state and district levels and NGOs implementing Targeted Interventions (TIs) for MARPs, Medical College faculty and program staff. The PEPFAR Gender project will target MARPs and their partners and wives of male migrants in Uttar Pradesh.

DAKSH maximizes cost-efficiency by leveraging GOI program investments through targeted TA that builds capacity for sustainability beyond project life. DAKSH ensures complementarity and coordination through regular partner meetings.

In-service training and TA provision to local organizations are measured through PEPFAR indicators. Other outputs and outcomes of the SI component will be tracked as per the indicators in the results framework and the 5 year strategy for PEPFAR/India. Gender project M&E systems at community and facility levels will be supplemented with case studies and success stories.
