• The project should actively participated people living with HIV/ADIS (PLWH) in training on HIV/ADIS for community to successfully create awareness.
• Regular visit to project site and activities is an integral aspect of project implementation and these activities should be strengthened to ensure positive outcomes by the end of project life.
• The total Budget of the project which has been planned earlier and the total budget which has listed with activities is not equal. So the project should assure the total project cost for the project life with total budget listed with activities.
• The project should strengthen assisting anti HIV/ADIS clubs which established in the school technically and providing necessary support for the successful achievement beyond awareness creation.
Comments from the organisation, if any:
The WBS-CBHSP has been in operation since the beginning of 2010. One of the main challenges which NLM has been giving feedback was: to sustain the supply of the water treatment chemicals. The project has been supplying and the chemical was well received by the community; and the plan was to encourage local people to continue to supply as a form of income generating business to ensure continuous supply. The project will be challenged to focus on sustaining this matter in the remaining years until the end of 2014.
