Efforts made so far • Commitment of Gov counterpart (i.e., India) for funding & seeking for possible funding sources (i.e., IPPF Japan Trust Fund) • Efforts on standardized procedure and program activity • Information-sharing and communication among field offices and HQs
Aid Harmonization • HIV/AIDS prevention measures in the infrastructure/transport projects (not only on policy and strategy aspect but also on technical aspect) →Standardized process to formulate the HIV/AIDS program →The minimum package of the HIV/AIDS activities →Simple and standardized monitoring and evaluation tools and mechanism
Aid Harmonization • Joint HIV/AIDS program formulation, monitoring and evaluation with JI Partners, i.e., in the co-financed projects with ADB or AfDB. • Cooperating with JI partners on policy discussion with Gov counterparts to streamline the HIV/AIDS prevention in infrastructure • Assisting Gov counterparts for possible funding, i.e., Global Fund
