B.  Programmatic Indicators
Objective No. | * Indicator No. | Indicator Description |  |  |  | Tied To | Targets cumulative? | Top 10 indicator? | Baseline  (if applicable) |  | Intended Target to date | Actual Result to date | % achievement (Please calculate as appropriate) | Reasons for programmatic deviation from intended target and deviations from the related workplan activities
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Value | Year
1 | 1.2 | Number of commercial sex workers reached with prevention interventions |  |  |  | GF | Y-cumulative annually | Yes - Top 10 | 95 | 2008 | 225 | 100 |  | The delays are due to the following reasons: The PR has canceled a contract with one SR due to performance and accountability issues. There is ongoing prevention work with CSWs in the capital city  but given the underperformance with regards to the set targets for prevention activities for commercial sex workers, the PR has decided to support  service delivery sites in additional cities and towns where the need for the work with this target group has been identified (initial findings of ongoing BSS activities).  The PR has signed contracts with new SRs after the end of the reporting period and plans to accelerate the work to achieve the targets.  The PR has developed with the new SRs an accelerated implementation plan, to be supported with the unused budgeted resources as of the end of Q5 (EUR 400,000) (see attached docs).
1 | 1.3 | Number of medical (doctors and nurses) and non-medical staff (psychologists, social assistants, peer consultants) trained in HIV/AIDS |  |  |  | GF | Y-over program term | Yes - Top 10 | n/a | n/a | 400 | 594 |  | The PR, in coordination with the sub-recipients, managed to deliver trainings to more people than initially planned. The target was exceeded by 194 people. This was possible due to the involvement of a newly opened training center with the Medical Academy in the capital city and the engagement of the Regional Centers of the social services.  The PR coordinated with the regional centers to add a module on HIV/AIDS to a training program, which was already organized by the social services.  . All sub-recipients and contractors are required to maintain detailed training records.  The PR is also conducting spot checks of training activities. The PR is also conducting spot checks of training activities. Finally, the PR is reviewing all SR reports and training log sheets, cross-checking the data and maintaining a central database of participants in trainings. As a result of the PR’s quality checks, 53 people from the SR reports were excluded from the cumulative results reported by the PR (e.g. due to incomplete records, double-counting by SRs).
1 | 1.4 | Number of IDUs on opioid substitution therapy |  |  |  | GF | Y-over program term | Yes - Top 10 | 30 | 2008 | 100 | 0 |  | While no people started methadone therapy during the reporting period, a number of important preparatory activities were completed. The first site in the capital city was fully renovated and it passed successfully the mandatory review procedures by the local authorities, who granted the necessary authorizations for its full-fledge operation. In the meantime, the contractors for the renovation of the service delivery facilities in one additional spot in the capital city and two other regional centers were selected and they started the renovation works in these spots. Importantly, the necessary authorizations for the methadone import were obtained and the partial pre-payment (15% of the invoice amount) was made during the reporting period. The methadone was actually delivered to the country after the end of the reporting period, and at the time of this PU/DR submission the first patients are already receiving therapy in the capital city. The already functioning center has the capacity to service 60 people per day and we expect to accelerate performance in this area.  With the ongoing work on the opening of similar centers in other locations, we will be able to achieve the set targets.
2 | 2.1 | Number of people provided with  ARV treatment |  |  |  | Current grant | N-not cumulative | Yes - Top 10 | 200 | 2008 | 300 | 300 |  | We are fully on track with the set targets for this indicator thanks to close coordination with the Central and Regional Infectious Disease Hospitals and the close cooperation with the NGOs providing care and support to the patients. It is important to note that the PR has supported the development of a comprehensive treatment monitoring electronic system, including treatment regimens and ARV drugs consumption. The system has been rolled out at the central hospital for now and following the field testing, the necessary revisions will be made and the e-system will be rolled out to the regional centers.
