AB OBJECTIVE: To develop an appropriate management information system for
the national AIDS Control Programme. METHODS: A management information
system has been developed which takes into account the situation in
India, where a centrally funded and guided AIDS control programme is
being developed and implemented in 32 states and union territories,
which are semi-autonomous in terms of health care provision. Many
programme activities are in fact carried out at district or municipal
level. In workshops consensus was reached on the essential indicators
for the various programme components, on lines of communication, levels
of analysis and mechanisms for feed-back and programme adaptation and
replanning. A core set of indicators are presented, which are common for
all states and union territories, to allow for central interpretation of
the results. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Incorporating an MIS in the early
phases of programme planning and implementation has obvious advantages.
The most important is the implied attention to continuous monitoring of
programme implementation, and the possibility to act rapidly if
implementation lags behind planned targets. A reduction of the number of
indicators to the most essential and a consensus on the MIS are
important interim achievements.
