 AB    OBJECTIVE: Identify gaps in program management and assess capabilities
       of local Non-Government Organizations in designing, implementing and
       evaluating AIDS education projects. METHODS: A matrix was developed and
       used to draw a profile of 37 local NGOs based in 4 major urban areas in
       the Philippines. The matrix attempted to outline current activities
       including target audiences, existing HIV/AIDS activities, geographical
       reach and international partner agencies. Interviews were conducted
       among NGO staff and volunteers assess management skills. RESULTS: Nearly
       all NGO respondents provide basic health services to individuals
       vulnerable to HIV infection. Majority of the NGOs identified a need to
       develop skills specifically in the areas of technical, financial, and
       governance of projects. Almost half rely on external funds. CONCLUSION:
       A strong interest to implement HIV/AIDS education projects is evident
       but there also exists a lack of technical and management capabilities. A
       program designed to build and institutionalize management skills needs
       to be implemented.
