Moves beyond understanding what projects deliver to demonstrating how projects are delivered
Provides access to an evidence based set of approaches, tools, methodologies and operational knowledge evolved during project implementation
Aims to strengthen the global response to HIV through knowledge transfer and adaptation of tools in local context
Approach
Document one page fact sheets for 13 tools used by the national HIV program in India supported with embedded links to reference materials, using a prescribed template
Develop an institutional repository of fact sheets and reference materials for tools widely used in the HIV program
Demonstrate a prototype for global replication
Encourage local adaptation of proven tools to overcome delivery bottlenecks
Process
