Data quality assessment of MIS implemented at the network of PLHIVs

Agency : Population Foundation of India

The Global Fund and Population Foundation of India (PFI) have signed a grant agreement to implement the project 'Promoting Access to Care and Treatment (PACT)' programme in eight highly vulnerable states: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Orissa. This program offers care and support services to People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). PFI, being the principal recipient, disburses the allocated fund to sub-recipients i.e. INP+, HLFPPT and CBCI to implement the programme in their respective geographical areas. With a view to monitoring the programme, PFI had developed an MIS for the networks functioning in the selected states and districts. MIS audit was conceived to use it as a mechanism for assessing the quality of programme data and assist sub-recipients to improve quality of their reporting. Specifically, MIS audit was carried out to meet the following objectives: 1) to check the reliability of the data recorded in the reports with regard to their accuracy and consistency; and 2) to check the validity of the clients by verifying the authenticity of the enrolled PLHAs.
