V. Support required from the country's development partners
To enable it to continue its programs and strategies to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic more systematically and effectively, the Philippines needs sustained support from its development partners.
Specifically, support is needed for the following:
1. Setting-up of coordinated and concerted monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems that will function at the local and national levels on a per agency scale involving government agencies, NGOs, public and private clinics/facilities, academe and research institutions, professional organizations, other civil society entities, including faith-based groups.
These coordinated and concerted M&E activities should be designed to make data collection more efficient, with outputs made accessible and utilized for improved national and local level policymaking and programming.
2. Sustaining the activities of stakeholders, specifically the concerned government agencies, NGOs, and other civil society entities working on HIV and AIDS.
3. Sustaining and expanding PNAC activities. There is a need to provide additional financing for PNAC Secretariat activities (including support for additional technical personnel) in order for it to be able to do its work more effectively.
