Reviews and SM&E by STDCs

Monitoring, programmatic reviews, supervision and evaluation is a core function of the STDCs. STDCs need to lead activities in this area and support STCs. Designated nodal personnel (Medical officers, Epidemiologists, Statistician, Nikshay Operator) should be made accountable for regularly accessing data available from Nikshay and other program information sources. They should also be involved in preparing analyses and program performance updates and reports for presentations during review meetings. Based on the ongoing monitoring, review and supervisory activities, STDCs should facilitate ongoing action based feedback to districts and seek timely action taken report from them. The role of STDCs in SM&E are described below.
