The Monitoring and Evaluation mechanisms suggested below are meant to effectively track progress regarding the strategies and activities of NAFOPHANU. To this end, tools and capacity for supervision, monitoring and evaluation of HIV/AIDS activities are specifically developed with emphasis on participation of key stakeholders and partners at various levels in these processes.

Levels and Linkages of Monitoring and Evaluation

It is proposed that Monitoring takes place at all relevant levels and should involve all key partners. At national level, NAFOPHANU and agencies involved in a particular activity shall monitor. The leadership, the NAFOPHANU Executive, have the primary responsibility. Other members will participate and report any observations to the Executive and Secretariat. At lower levels, partners and affiliates of NAFOPHANU shall handle the day-to-day monitoring of activities for subsequent feedback to NAFOPHANU. These linkages are necessary to ensure timely assessment of progress and application of corrective measures.

A focal point person shall be designated at the NAFOPHANU secretariat to coordinate the linkages developed for monitoring and evaluation. She/he shall on a regular basis collect reports from the various affiliates and partners. The later may also be required to furnish their regular assessments in form of reports to NAFOPHANU Secretariat in the spirit of partnership. Monitoring schedules and reporting systems may further be refined by NAFOPHANU with assistance and consultation of other partner organizations. It is important that NAFOPHANU develops a listing of their key aspects for monitoring and evaluation.
