Data Quality Assessment of MIS Implemented at the Network of PLHIV s Project

Agency : Population Foundation of India

The Global Fund and Population Foundation of India (PFI) have signed a grant agreement to implement "Promoting Access to Care and Treatment (PACT)" program in eight highly vulnerable states: Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Orissa. The program offers care and support services to the people living with HIV / AIDS (PLHIV). PFI, being the principal recipient, disburses the allocated fund to sub-recipients i.e. INP+, HLFPPT and CBCl to implement the program in their respective geographical areas. With a view to monitoring the program, PPI 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 program data and assist sub-recipients to improve the quality of their reporting. Specifically, MIS audit was carried out: 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.
