PEPFAR funds were allocated to support the NDOH on M&E activities that the NDOH is collaborating with

provinces throughout the country. The support to the NDOH was in terms of employing M&E officers at nine

provinces as a means of strengthening the existing M&E structures. None of the M&E officers were

employed ay the provincial level. Therefore the funds amounting to $445,000 that were aimed at supporting

the NDOH on M&E have been carried over to 08FY. The NDOH is contemplating on having the M&E

officers in all provinces during the 08 FY.

An amount of $620,000 from the CoAg has also been carried over to the 08FY. These funds will be used to

funds AB activities that the NDOH in partnership with NGOs and FBOs are executing through the country.

Therefore there is no need to continue funding this activity with FY 2008 COP funds.
