Support Preparation of the State PIP

STDCs need to technically support STCs in preparing the annual activity plan as per the state strategy for Program Implementation Plan (PIP) preparation. This would include:

• Gap Analysis: Through analysis of the existing data and observations from the supervisory visits and evaluations, a district wise gap analysis need to be prepared. Gap analysis should highlight what are the major program gaps in terns of infrastructure, equipment, HR, activities and funds in each district. 
• Identification of priority activities: Based on gap analysis, STDCs need to help the districts and state to identify the priority activities for each district and state that need to be included in the PIP. 
• Capacity building and mentoring of District: STDCs should support the district TB Officer to prepare their own PIPs. This may be done in a workshop mode before the preparation of the state PIP. 
• Advocacy for Inclusion of priority activities in PIP: STDCs need to technically support districts and STCs to include priority activity in PIP, build proper justification for the initiatives included and develop proper plan for each activities with number of beneficiaries and expected outcomes.​​

Medical Officer (SM&E) will be the nodal person responsible for the activity.
