Strategic Management Information System (M&E)
|
|
As we know that National AIDS Control Program has divided into phases. The first
two phases (Phase 1 1992-2001, Phase 2 -2001-2007, undertook the ambitious objective
of laying down the infrastructure required for providing comprehensive services
for both Prevention, Care & treatment. But in Phase 3 – 2007-2012, NACO seeks to
systematically scale up the service delivery. With the aim to meet the objective
of Phase 3, structured Strategic Management Information System has been adopted
under Monitoring & Evaluation Program.
National AIDS Control Program (NACP) collects routine information on program components
from Blood Banks, Integrated Counseling and Testing Centres, STD Clinics, NGO implementing
Targeted Interventions, ART Centres and Community Care Centres. All these information
is collected monthly through a comprehensive software CMIS (Computerized Management
Information System) which is installed in all State AIDS Control Societies across
the country.
CMIS is fed by through a series of data collection formats that are compiled or
used directly for data entry. The data entry formats are specific to the different
types of reporting units and enable the routine monitoring data to be entered in
a standardized fashion. CMIS is an important source of data which gives early warning
on non-performances or issues.

M&E Framework
|
Collaboration between Strategic Information Management Unit and Other Units of the
SACS
Regular interactions between the SIMU team and programme units include:
- Sharing monthly and quarterly reports with the lead person of that component.
- Providing joint feedback to the implementing units addressing both the quality of
the programme and the quality of the information reported.
- Monthly review Meetings regarding CMIS reports to share interpretations and insights
about the data analyzed.
|
Revamping Monitoring & Evaluation Program
|
- Strategic Information Management System (SIMS) is a web based integrated monitoring
& Evaluation System. It has been developed as a mechanism for improving on the CMIS
under M&E Program. It is centralized system that allows the users to capture the
data at various levels like Reporting unit, District Level and State Level and enable
them to view the data whenever required.
- SIMS Web-Based System is basically One System and access to One Database under all
Programmes. There is no parallel data gathering by programme division other than
SIMS. It means the concept of ‘One data and One system’ under this New Web based
System.
|
Facilities:-
|
- SIMS is a Web-Based Application with link to central server and sophisticated tools
aiding in data analysis and integration from different data sources/platforms.
- It increases the efficiency of computerized M&E system by having adequate data quality
through centralized validated data.
- It transfers the Data by using Web-enabled Application and efficient data management
rights (Access Rights Control) from Sub-district level (Reporting unit) to National
Level. (NACO)

Overview and Training details:-
|
SIMS application was launched in Mulana Azad Dental Science & Hospital on 26th August
2010 with sensitization National Level Training cum workshop for M&E officers
The training was divided into four phases- State M&E Officers (Phase-1), Other SACS
Officers orientation (Phase-2), DAPCU (Phase-3) and reporting Unit Level (Phase-4),
|
Chandigarh SACS has completed all the phases of trainings.
|
With an aim to meet the objectives of NACP-III, a web-based integrated SIMS is being
developed as a mechanism for improving efficiency of the CMIS and was launched in
Aug 2010 and is scheduled to be implemented during 2011.
