HAPIS Prevention Grantees

2003 Prevention Grants

HIV Prevention Quality Assurance Activities

During 2002, HAPIS/DHAS implemented a new quality assurance program for community-based providers of HIV prevention services. Activities associated with the new program include on-site consultations and program reviews with all agencies.

Both program consultants and grantees reported they have found the process very helpful. HAPIS/DHAS staff improved their understanding of the structure and operations of grantee agencies, the HIV prevention services being delivered by grantees as well as challenges and facilitators to success. Similarly, grantees reported improved understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in local program monitoring and quality assurance and, most importantly, an enhanced understanding of HAPIS/DHAS expectations regarding provision of high-quality, evidence-based prevention services.

In preparation for the new project period for HIV prevention services, HAPIS/DHAS program consultants intend to review the experience and findings from this first year, and make appropriate refinements to the protocol, processes and procedures.
