A Baseline Study of USAID Funded PIPPSE Project

Agency : USAID India, Delhi

A baseline assessment was carried out to generate evidence on the effectiveness of the HIV intervention program carried out under the PIPPSE project for its different activities under different intervention models. This assessment was part of the overall monitoring process and was intended to help in identifying the current situation of the project (in terms of extent of implementation) and issues to be tackled under each of the models.

The PIPPSE project being funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is a creative and timely response to meet the current priorities of the national HIV program. Managed by a consortium, with Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI) as the prime awardee and Futures Group International India Pvt. Ltd. and Population Services International (PSI) as sub awardees, the PIPPSE project supports the national program through institutional strengthening, evidence generation, piloting of innovative models and enhancing private sector engagement.  This five-year project is being implemented from June 1, 2012 to May 31, 2017. The overall aim of the project is to strengthen the institutional and human capacity in prevention programs and private sector engagement through innovative approaches to contribute towards achieving the goal of accelerating the reversal of HIV epidemic at the national and state levels. To fulfil the above goal, the key activities of this project were designed with five key areas viz., innovations, migration programming, system strengthening, private sector engagement and evidence generation and are being implemented in the form of different models.

The broad objective of the baseline study was to assess the situation of the project before implementation of its different intervention models in terms of its strength and capacity.
