Call for Proposals: Conduct of PNAC M&E Training

Terms of Reference (TOR)

Training on National Monitoring and Evaluation

 Philippine National Aids Council M&E Working Group and selected M&E Officers of AMTP5 Priority Sites

2012-2013

I.          Rationale

In 2010, the Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) formalized the creation of the national M&E Working Group (MEWG) through a PNAC resolution (2010-05). The MEWG is composed of officially designated M&E officers from each PNAC member agencies. In the same year, a National M&E Assessment was also conducted. Among the major issues found was the lack of M&E capacity among MEWG members. To address this, the PNAC Secretariat conducted a series of capacity building activities for the MEWG in 2011. The trainings conducted were Basic M&E Courses which include development of agency action plans on HIV with corresponding agency monitoring and evaluation plans.

To further strengthen the capacity of the MEWG, and as part of the implementation of the AMTP5 M&E Plan, a series of advance courses on M&E will be conducted in 2012. In addition, Basic M&E courses will be offered to interested participants prioritizing M&E officers of Local AIDS Councils (LAC) in the sites highly burdened with HIV e.g. Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Metro Davao or those prioritized in the 5^th AMTP.

The project will be co-funded by the PNAC Secretariat and UNAIDS Philippines as part of implementing the M&E capacity building program under the AMTP5 National M&E Plan. .
