Monitoring, Supervision and evaluation by STDCs

Monitoring, review, supportive supervision and evaluation are important to ensure that the program is implemented as planned against the stated objectives and desired results. These are intensive technical activities and core function of the STDCs.

The STDCs need to lead activities in this area and support STCs. Designated nodal personnel (Medical officers, Epidemiologist, Statistician, Ni-kshay Operator) should be made accountable for regularly accessing data available from Ni-kshay and other program information sources. They should also be involved in analyzing the data and preparing analyses and program performance updates and reports for presentations (PPT) during review meetings. Based on the ongoing monitoring, review and supervisory activities, STDCs should regularly provide action-based feedback to districts and seek timely action taken report from them. 

Details of the processes and approach to be followed in monitoring, supervision and evaluation are available in the NTEP Supervision and Monitoring Strategy (Click here).
