REVISED INTEGRATED ANNUAL WORK PLAN JULY 2009 to JUNE 2010 FISCAL YEAR

1. REVISED INTEGRATED ANNUAL WORK PLANJULY 2009 to JUNE 2010 FISCAL YEAR MID YEAR REVIEW OF THE 2010/2011 IAWP Presented to the National AIDS Commission Board April 2011

2. Introduction IAWP is: • A planning, budgeting and monitoring tool • Translates the NAF into an annual implementation plan • Continuously monitored through quarterly progress reports • Reports provide an opportunity to: • Identify well performing areas that need to be sustained • Identify underperforming areas that require more effort to accelerate progress • Identify critical emerging issues that can contribute to the success of the national response

3. Why the Mid-Year Review of the IAWP? • Critically examine programme performance and implications of emerging issues • Based on reports and other available evidence: • Scale up activities (revise targets upwards) • Scale down activities (revise targets downwards) • Introduce new activities as relevant • Remove unnecessary activities • Roll over activities to next IAWP

4. Criteria for Reviewing Activities • Other critical considerations: • Capacity of implementing partners (numbers and required expertise) • Availability of financial resources (availability and timeliness of disbursements)

5. Revised Areas: Partner Implemented Work plan Prevention and Behaviour Change

6. Revised Areas: Partner Implemented Work plan Prevention and Behaviour Change cont’d.. Milestone on “Sensitisation and awareness sessions on alcohol and drug abuse” proposed to change to “Development of alcohol and drug abuse policy”

10. Revised Areas: Partner Implemented Work plan Mainstreaming and Decentralisation

11. Revised Areas: Partner Implemented Work Plan Research, Monitoring and Evaluation • Four surveys/studies to be removed since they are unlikely to be implemented in the current financial year: • National STI Surveillance Survey • Health Facility Survey • Review of the National Research Strategy • Life skills education survey conducted

12. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 1. New Activities • Four new activities were introduced namely: • Zonal coordination meetings for the HIV Prevention Strategy Phase I Operational Plan • Development of a national HIV Strategy (consultancy and consultative meetings • Community-Based monitoring and evaluation (CBME) (Impact evaluation) • Dissemination of Community-Based monitoring and evaluation (CBME) findings

13. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 2. Activities Removed • Two activities were deferred to next FY because unlikely to be implemented this FY • Review and development of the national M&E Plan • Consultative meetings for the review of the national M&E Plan These await development of the new HIV and AIDS Strategy

14. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 2. Activities Removed • Consultative meetings with HIV and AIDS planners (including advocacy for gender sensitive planning) • There was potential duplication since the HIV and AIDS Planners also attend consultative, coordination and TWG meetings organised by the programmes units • Regional dissemination meetings for the Revised NAF • Differed until the development of the new HIV and AIDS Strategy • Mid programme evaluation for GF Round 7 grant

15. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 3. Activities Revised 3.1Targets Revised • Targets for six activities were revised upward because their annual target was achieved or close to achievement and expenditure within budget with potential balances • Only two activities had their targets reduced due to change in implementation modality e.g. Regional sessions to national level sessions

16. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 3. Activities Revised 3.2 Budgets Revised • Almost seventeen activities have their budgets increased due to unforeseen rise in input costs e.g. Fuel, consultancy fees. • Most of the affected activities were • consultancies • Procurement of goods (some had outstanding payments from previous FY)

17. Revised Areas: NAC Initiated Work plan 3. Activities Revised 3.2 Budgets Revised • A bigger proportion of activities (35) had budgets reduced mainly due to: • Change in implementation modality of some activities resulting in savings • More activities done within Lilongwe at no or reduced cost • Some activities (9) had both targets and budgets reduced due to demands from other key activities resulting in delayed implementation

18. Budget Changes (NAC W/Plan)

19. Budget Changes

20. Conclusion • Changes effected to acknowledge progress made towards attainment of the strategic goals and objectives • Savings from each unit were ploughed back to those activities that required a budgetary increase unless there were no activities demanding such • Key new activities accommodated from the overall savings • Overall revised budget still within the approved budget
