BACKGROUND
The Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) in exercise of its technical advisory role as mandated by Republic Act 8504, or the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998, recently developed key documents and M&E products related to the implementation of the Fifth AIDS Medium-Term Plan, the 2011-2016 Philippine Strategic Plan on HIV and AIDS (Fifth AMTP). These documents are intended to be published as monographs, and distributed among partners and stakeholders in the national response as part of specific tactics in PNAC's conduct of advocacy social marketing, partnership capacity building, and M&E utilization. These publications shall need to be designed and packaged in consideration of best available distribution channels as well as accessibility and usability demands from the target readership.

  • Fifth AMTP Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
