9. MONITORING ANDEVALUATION9.1 Monitoring
Indicators 9.1.1 Outline Performance Monitoring
Framework The program will be managed through
results approach with a special focus on the
team. High performance team work will be
initiated and sustained among different
specialized individuals and FBOs groups. This
will lead to greater coordination, collaboration
and communication. Team spirit will be based on
real issue after a baseline pre-assessment.Manage
ment by results will also include taking care of
cross-cultural differences among the team
members, FBOs and villages, reduction of
complains, project cost reduction, increased
skill utilization, increased earning and
reduction of backlog.

9.1.2 Major IndicatorsFour main indicators
(input, output, process, and impact) will be used
to monitor the project (Table 7).
3
9.2 EVALUATIONGRSP will verify the
indicators stated above to ensure that the
project is carried out as outlined and that the
objectives are attained.Community-based
organizations, for example, different churches
and mosques, church choirs, association of church
elders, youth groups of churches, village
development associations, and so forth will be
involved in the execution of the project.
Promoters will ensure that the project is
carried out to the satisfaction of the different
churches and mosques.
4
Data collected in each sub-division by the
divisional supervisor will be disseminated to
churches as well as provincial and national
church head-quarters and the NACC for any
strategy modification. On a quarterly basis the
coordinator will send summary report to the NACC
and the Ministry of Public Health for central
analysis and to be used for HIV/AIDS prevention,
care and mitigation.
5
Regular data collection will include questions
related to FBO satisfaction. Responses to these
questions will allow supervisors and the
principal investigator to up-grade or adjust
strategies and priorities over the course of the
project implementation.Confidentiality of the
participants will be highly prioritized when
collecting and disseminating data.
9.3. How the beneficiaries will be involved in
monitoring and evaluation
6
10.1 Expected ResultsFBOs shall be mobilized to
respond to the needs of orphans and vulnerable
children (OVC) and people living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWH). There will be a resultant decrease in
stigmatization, prevention, care and mitigation
of HIV/AIDS and other STIs. PLWH will be involved
in the project and will receive adequate support
from their FBOs. There shall be some degree of
poverty alleviation with OVC needs provided for
by the CBOs. There will be provision of jobs to
various categories of people in the villages
including PLWH.
10. EXPECTED RESULTS AND IMPACT
7
10.2 Impact of the project The net impact of
this intervention program is to reduce the spread
of HIV/AIDS in the country which will eventually
lead to poverty alleviation among the
population. Since poverty alleviation involves
using the principal asset of the poor namely
their force, the economic force of the people
especially the youths will be ameliorated. AIDS
is a disease that swallows up the meager
resources of the under privileged shutting them
up in the vicious cycle of poverty which if
controlled, they could live healthier, longer and
more productive lives.

11.SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECTFor the
continuity of the project, the following measures
are envisaged1) Institutional reinforcement of
village FBO activities In each intervention
village, village FBO committees will be organized
and will be engaged and responsible in all phases
of the project from the beginning to evaluation.
These FBO structures will be assisted for better
organization, setting of functional rules,
management tools, training of executive members,
etc. At the end of the project, each FBO will
have a participatory structure capable of
analyzing and solving problems related to
HIV/AIDS prevention, care and mitigation and
other STIs.
9
For the continuity of the project, the following
measures are envisaged2 ) Transfer of
competence to the FBOs There will be capacity
building of the clergy, AIDS orphans, animators
and promoters to execute, manage and administer
HIV/AIDS prevention, care and mitigation
programmes. The animators and interviewers will
continue to carry out HIV/AIDS prevention, care
and mitigation and I E C in FBOs in the villages
when the project comes to an end.
10
For the continuity of the project, the following
measures are envisaged3) Participation of
beneficiariesFBO members who are AIDS orphans
and PLWH will be trained in income generating
activities. AIDS orphans and PLWH will be
recruited as interviewers, animators, promoters,
etc. Hence, providing jobs for them, which no
doubt, is another way towards poverty
alleviation. Other FBO members will pass on the
information to other villagers and their young
ones who are not with them in the villages, which
is another way towards HIV/AIDS prevention.
11
For the continuity of the project, the following
measures are envisaged4) Integration of the
program into FBO training schoolsThe
intervention will be introduced into seminaries,
bible schools and other FBO training centers so
that pastors, priests and imams graduating from
these schools will be trained in the type of
sermons they should give in FBOs vis-à-vis
HIV/AIDS prevention, care and mitigation and
other STIs. The capacity of these institutions
will be increased to fight HIV/AIDS.
12
The activities developed in this intervention
program are meant to scale up the fight of
HIV/AIDS in the study area. The immediate
beneficiaries will include 226 452 and 119 921
inhabitants of Donga- Mantung and Menchum
divisions respectively. This will include 108
major villages of the two divisions.
Subsequently, 1 307 369 inhabitants of the North
West and 15 million Cameroonians will benefit
from the project. The following tribes Wimbum,
Fulani, Hausa, Mfumte, Yamba, Mbembe, Bessa,
Nchanti, Aghem, Essimbe, Nso, Nyos, Esua,
Moghamo, etc., will benefit from the
intervention.
12. BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROGRAM
13
13. RISKS AND LIMITATIONS TO BE
CONSIDEREDSome risks will be taken in the
execution of the project such as1) The bad
nature of the roads in the North West province in
general and the Donga-Mantung and Menchum
divisions in particular especially in the raining
season. Bicycles and motor cycles will be used by
animators and promoters while four-wheel drive
vehicles will be used by supervisors.2) Slowness
in administrative procedures at certain levels in
the administration. The administration will be
carried along to reduce this risk.
