TB-HIV joint review mechanisms
Learning ObjectivesExplain the opportunities to review TB-HIV collaborative activities at various forums, and levels.
National TB Elimination Programme (NTEP) and National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) conduct regular review meetings on HIV TB collaborative activities at national and state levels.
At National level
National level review meeting is held jointly by National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) and Central TB Division (CTD) and representatives from CTD or NACO jointly review the HIV TB activities.
At State level
The joint review meetings are organised organised in close coordination by State AIDS Prevention and Control Societies (SACS) and State TB Centre (STC).
Joint Review at field level - To strengthen the implementation of collaborative activities at all levels joint field visits are undertaken by:
- National team (NACO & CTD) - To at least one state per quarter
- State teams (SACS & STC) - Visit at least one district every quarter
External Programme Review like Joint Monitoring Mission will have TB-HIV as one of the thematic areas.
TB-HIV activities are reviewed during Central Internal Evaluation (CIE) and JSS (Joint Supportive Supervision). The team usually consists of representatives from NACO & CTD. Similarly TB-HIV activities are reviewed at State Internal Evaluation (SIE) also.
Other Forums for Review Of HIV/TB activities
- National TB HIV Coordination Committee (NTCC)/ National Technical Working Group (NTWG) on TB HIV collaborative activities consist of representatives from both the programme at the national level and jointly review HIV TB collaborative activities quarterly.
- State TB-HIV Co-ordination Committee (SCC)/ State Technical Working Group (SWG) consist of representatives from both the programme at the state level and jointly review HIV TB collaborative activities quarterly.
- District Coordination Committees (DCC) review activities at the district level. State HIV/TB coordinator or other officers from STC and SACS can attend these meetings to improve the coordination with the districts.
- Monthly HIV/TB coordination meetings of NTEP staff are routinely conducted at the district level. During these meetings, one session should be dedicated to reviewing of HIV/TB activities and all key NACP will attend the session.
